Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011. He spent the first nine years of his career with the Santa Rosa Press Democrat where he wrote the Inside the 49ers blog and covered famous coaches and athletes such as Jim Harbaugh, Colin Kaepernick and Patrick Willis. In 2012, Inside the 49ers won Sports Blog of the Year from the Peninsula Press Club. In 2020, Cohn joined FanNation and began writing All49ers. In addition, he created a YouTube channel which has become the go-to place on YouTube to consume 49ers content. Cohn's channel typically generates roughly 3.5 million viewers per month, while the 49ers' official YouTube channel generates roughly 1.5 million viewers per month. Cohn live streams almost every day and posts videos hourly during the football season. Cohn is committed to asking the questions that 49ers fans want answered, and providing the most honest and interactive coverage in the country. His loyalty is to the reader and the viewer, not the team or any player or coach. Cohn is a new-age multimedia journalist with an old-school mentality, because his father is Lowell Cohn, the legendary sports columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle from 1979 to 1993. The two have a live podcast every Tuesday. Grant Cohn grew up in Oakland and studied English Literature at UCLA from 2006 to 2010. He currently lives in Oakland with his wife.

49ers OL Coach says Jaylon Moore is a Starting-Caliber Left Tackle

When Trent Williams went down for the season with an ankle injury four weeks ago, some people probably thought Brock Purdy would be running for his life. But through four games, Williams' replacement, fourth-year tackle Jaylon Moore, has given up no sacks

49ers QB Brock Purdy Evaluates his Performance this Season

Brock Purdy is having a rough season. He's on the verge of signing a life-changing contract extension, and yet he also is the first 49ers quarterback to lose at least seven games in a season since Colin Kaepernick in 2016. Bad timing.

49ers Paying Dearly for Rushing Players Back from Injury this Season

Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong for the 49ers this season. Injuries and bad luck are big reasons they're currently 6-8. But the 49ers are at least partially responsible for some of these injuries lingering longer than they needed to.
