2019 season: Rookie year

During Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals, Greenlaw recorded his first sack off of Kyler Murray. In the next against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football, he recorded his first NFL interception off Russell Wilson in a 27–24 overtime loss. In the regular-season finale against the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football, Greenlaw recorded a team-high 13 tackles and made a critical stop on tight end Jacob Hollister inside of the one-yard line on the final play of the game which sealed a 26–21 road victory, securing the one seed for the 49ers in the 2019 playoffs. Greenlaw credited review from the 49ers Week 15 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, which ended in a similar scenario where wide receiver Julio Jones was barely able to break the plane into the endzone, for giving him the correct technique to hit Hollister high.
In the Divisional Round of the playoffs against the Minnesota Vikings, Greenlaw recorded a forced fumble during the 27–10 win.
