San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams<\/a> made it clear that his current contract, which runs through the 2027 season, will likely be the final deal of his illustrious NFL career.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters after the 49ers’ first training camp practice on Sunday, Williams was asked whether entering the final chapter of his career has created a greater sense of urgency.<\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t say it changed my urgency, but it does change my mind frame a little bit,” Williams said. “Like, instead of just coming to work, I actually try to soak it in. I just don’t know. Obviously, you know, it could be my last two years. It’s probably the plan.”<\/p>\n

Despite turning 38 earlier this month, Williams remains one of the NFL’s premier offensive linemen. Since being selected fourth overall by Washington in the 2010 NFL Draft, he has built a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 that should one day earn him football immortality\u2014a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

The 49ers have a lot of young talent in the offensive line room, including several recent draft picks like Carver Willis<\/a>, Enrique Cruz<\/a>, and Connor Colby<\/a>. The team will undoubtedly lean on Williams to mentor those less-experienced players, who have long looked up to the veteran tackle.<\/p>\n

Williams understands the importance of passing along his knowledge while he still has the opportunity.<\/p>\n

“So I’m just really trying to soak in every day, build these relationships, take advantage of it, because once that window closes, it generally don’t open back up,” Williams said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams made it clear that his current contract, which runs through the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":826108,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[5381,64,63,399030,104973,399029,593,1262,85,1236,31952],"class_list":["post-826107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-49ers","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-carver-willis","tag-connor-colby","tag-enrique-cruz","tag-nfl","tag-san-francisco-49ers","tag-sports","tag-training-camp","tag-trent-williams"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/826107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=826107"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/826107\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/826108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=826107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=826107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=826107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
