Broncos have 3 core players developed by the 49ers

The Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers will meet on Sunday with three key former players from each roster facing their old teams. For the 49ers, the defense includes linebacker Dre Greenlaw and Garret Wallow, joined by punter Corliss Waitman on special teams. Denver counters with right tackle Mike McGlinchey, defensive lineman D.J. Jones, and safety Talanoa Hufanga. All three ex-49ers have been described as major contributors to Denver’s turnaround under coach Sean Payton. Jones joined in 2022, was re-signed in 2025, while McGlinchey signed as one of Payton’s early free-agent moves in 2023. Hufanga arrived as one of Denver’s biggest 2025 acquisitions. The game starts at 2:25 p.m. MT, regionally televised on CBS.
