Donte Whitner predicts title in 2014

After losing the Super Bowl last Sunday, San Francisco 49ers defensive back believes his team has what it takes to win the NFL's prestigious championship next season. Winning a Super Bowl would be a natural next step for the 49ers. They made the NFC Championship two seasons ago before reaching the title game this year.

"We take steps every year," Whitner said, via CSNBayArea.com. "Last year we made it to the NFC Championship Game with no expectations. This year we made it to the Super Bowl and 5 yards from the championship. Next year we gonna win this thing. Nobody cares about second place."
