Inside linebacker Reuben Foster was the lone 49ers’ representative on the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie team.

Foster, the No. 31 overall pick, was recognized after he ranked seventh among rookies in tackles (72) despite missing six games due to injury. He ranked second on the team in tackles and was named the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Month for November after he had 30 tackles in three games.

Defensive tackle Solomon Thomas, the No. 3 overall pick, was not selected after he had 41 tackles and 3 sacks in 14 games. The four defensive linemen selected were Philadelphia’s Derek Barnett (No. 14 overall), Cleveland’s Myles Garrett (No. 1), Cincinnati’s Carl Lawson (fourth round) and the Giants’ Dalvin Tomlinson (second round).

The 49ers did receive strong contributions from their rookie class despite their lack of representation on the PFWA team.

Wide receiver Trent Taylor and tight end George Kittle, both fifth-round picks, tied for eighth among rookies with 43 receptions. Running back Matt Breida, who was undrafted, was eighth among rookies with 465 rushing yards. The 49ers also received significant contributions from cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon (third round), quarterback C.J. Beathard (third round) and safety Adrian Colbert (seventh round).
