• Dante Pettis was in rare company statistically as a rookie

  23-05-2019 22:03 via ninersnation.com
  It’s easy to get excited about the potential of his second season in the NFL Dante Pettis needs to stay healthy. If he is on the field for 16 games, the San Francisco 49ers have a weapon that few teams have. I still stand by him showing #1 traits as a rookie. That doesn’t mean Pettis is the next Jerry Rice. He confirmed everything you look for in a wide receiver.
  Statistically, Pettis is in great company. Mick Smiley of Cat Scratch Reader had an excellent idea for D.J. Moore, and I

• 4 best moves 49ers GM John Lynch made this offseason

  23-05-2019 18:03 via ninersnation.com
  There have been some obvious moves, but will any under the radar moves crack the top 4? The San Francisco 49ers took a few risks this offseason with some of the players they added. Linebacker next to Fred Warner was a position of need, and they went out and signed a player that likely won’t be ready for the season-opener. The team also seems to be depending on a player that has all the talent in the world but hasn’t played a full season since 2014.

• Is 49ers CB Richard Sherman underrated? NFL Media’s Peter Schrager believes so

  23-05-2019 16:03 via ninersnation.com
  What a difference a couple of years makes Richard Sherman has been one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL over the last seven years. Even in his rookie year with the Seattle Seahawks, Sherman was effective. For the first time in his career, Sherman didn’t record an interception in 2018. Now some look at the San Francisco 49ers best defensive back as an afterthought.NFL Media’s Peter Schrager thinks otherwise. Here’s what he said about Sherman on “Good Morning Football&rd

• One area where Nick Bosa can improve as a rookie

  23-05-2019 14:03 via ninersnation.com
  Bosa is the favorite for defensive rookie of the year, but where can he get better at on the field? It’s naive to think each of the San Francisco 49ers rookies are going to hit the ground running without any bumps in the road. The defense will be much-improved, and Nick Bosa will have a lot to do with that. You can say the same for the offense. The versatility, speed, and athleticism are improved now that Deebo Samuel and Jalen Hurd are on the roster. With that said, I wanted to go over o

  Your San Francisco 49ers links for Thursday, May 23rd, 2019 Since the draft we have discussed the goal of our offense with regards to players such as Jalen Hurd. We believe what Kyle Shanahan is looking for is players that can play multiple positions because it allows for his innovative offense to place mismatches across the field. Putting a WR in motion to the RB position and then back out to the TE slot could cause massive communication issues and mismatches to the defense. What I wonder is w

• Nick Mullens tells us about the time he was a Google intern & what life outside of football may be like

  23-05-2019 00:02 via ninersnation.com
  Mullens had the chance to see what life outside of football is like As part of the San Francisco 49ers player engagement program, the team spends a day as Google interns back in April. This program gives players life and career skills they can use to set themselves up for success after the NFL. In my head, all I could think about was the movie “The Internship” with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens wrote a blog about the experience of an intern at Google.
