Trent Williams is the seventh offensive lineman in history to have been selected to at least 11 Pro Bowls.
Many believe that this season and his postseason run may be his last in the league. This week, he ended those presumptions. After the 2023 season, the San Francisco 49ers tackle does not plan to retire. Speaking about his intention to return for 2024 season Trent Williams said,
“Oh, yeah. 100 percent,”
“I want to break the record for tackles. That’s a big thing for me.”
“I definitely dropped to my knees and thanked God because that’s not promised. You can have an amazing Hall of Fame career and still don’t see 11 Pro Bowls. So I’m super proud of that.”

Trent Williams became the eighth offensive lineman in NFL history to receive 11 Pro Bowl nominations when he was chosen for the 2024 Pro Bowl Games. Since the 49ers had more exciting plans to attend the Super Bowl, he would really prefer not to be there.
In addition, Trent Williams became only the fourth tackle, behind Willie Roaf, Anthony Muñoz, and Jonathan Ogden, to earn 11 Pro Bowl nominations.
The 49ers won’t be under any pressure to find a replacement just yet because of his choice to return.
