49ers WR Coach Leonard Hankerson praises young receivers, emphasizes versatility
and preparation “De’Zhaun Stribling, Wesley Grimes, and Will Pauling. The wide receivers coach pointed particularly to what the rookies did after the team’s organized team activities.
Rather than simply going home when OTAs ended, the young receivers stayed around, continued studying the playbook, and put in additional work in the weight room. For Hankerson, that commitment is already showing up on the field. “They’re seeing the fruits of their labor,” Hankerson said.”
K.J. Wright sees versatility, growth from 49ers’ young linebackers
“As smart as he is, that’s why I really appreciate about Dugger,” Wright said. “I know it isn’t easy as a rookie playing MIKE, WILL, STAR, I’m stressing his brain a little bit. The game will slow down for him. He’s a smart guy with really good recall.”
Undrafted rookie D-linemen have a legitimate chance at earning a role with 49ers
“The 49ers are scheduled to hold a joint practice with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday.
Two days later, they will play their first of three preseason games.
So, it will not be long before the rest of the NFL will get a glimpse of things that, up to this point, have been on display only on the 49ers’ practice field.
Two of the 49ers’ undrafted rookie defensive tackles — Bryson Eason and James Thompson — might have the most to gain from that kind of exposure.”
Why self-proclaimed underdog Gracen Halton has chip on shoulder as 49ers rookie
“I’ve always been an underdog,” Halton said. “Whether it’s my height or all the stuff they say, but at the end of the day this is football. You got to put your head on somebody’s chin, and if you do that, then you are going to make some plays and do what you do.
“My saying is, ‘Underdogs prevail.’ So that’s my mindset.”
Kyle Shanahan: Ricky Pearsall was not a factor in bringing Deebo Samuel back
“They’re just two just two completely different types of players,” Shanahan said.“
