The San Francisco 49ers ranked 11th in passing defense this past season, but they also allowed 35 touchdowns through the air, the second-worst mark in the NFL.

Obviously, you would think the 49ers would then make a concerted effort to address the secondary during the offseason, but they only made one adjustment, signing free-agent cornerback Jason Verrett to a one-year deal.

But, fellow cornerback Richard Sherman feels San Francisco's defensive back situation is just fine:

“I'm 100 percent good with (the secondary). I don't think it'll be an issue,” Sherman said, according to Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee. “The secondary wasn't the issue last year. We'd lose games by a touchdown down the stretch, the last second. It's not like, ‘Oh man, the secondary was just getting killed the whole game and that's why we lost.' It was just guys' immaturity, mistakes, just not executing. Not knowing how to finish, not having finishers.”

There was a time when Sherman was one of the best corners in the league, but a torn Achilles midway through his final season with the Seattle Seahawks in 2017 has certainly taken some of the shine off of him.

Still, the 31-year-old is confident in the Niners' defense in general:

“We needed guys to hit (the quarterback) in the face,” Sherman said. “You need a few of them. Now we have guys that can rotate in and rotate out and put pressure. You have linebackers that they were looking for. Fred (Warner) is a year older, he's not a rookie play caller anymore. I think that helps everybody. I'm much healthier. I was kind of out there on one leg.”

Sherman played in 14 games this past season, totaling 37 tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery.
