looked pretty good actually.
.@49ers #KevinGivens, an UFA from @PennStateFball, played 37 snaps last night and started and finished the game. And in between he was their BEST DL. In a crowded room full of BIG $$& players could this unknown be the biggest surprise? #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/yZgfJd1J9U

.@PennStateFball DL Kevin Givens's first run was 5.09, but in his second unofficial run he marked a 4.87 with a mind-boggling 1.59 split.

For comparison, Aaron Donald's best Combine split was 1.63. Speaks to world-class strength and conditioning program at PSU.#NFLCombine pic.twitter.com/WnrZMmU7sE

Looks more like a pass rushing DT than a run stuffing NT because of his size

His quickness at the snap is absolutely perfect for the 2i in blowing up or misdirecting plays.

That's what the 2i is in this defense.

Too bad the webzone doesn't have a pin feature for posts. The tweet from Kocurek's former player about the intricacies of the wide 9 scheme was so insightful.

Nah, I forgot who it was, but a former NFL DL responded to a bunch of NC's question about Kocurek's scheme. They're somewhere buried in the Robert Saleh thread.

Jullian Taylor's knee injury means rookie Kevin Givens is being elevated to the #49ers' active roster, per source. Givens was one of the team's "scout-team players of the week" in advance of the Sunday's game in Seattle.

Unreal we're at this point with the deepest position group in the NFL. Wow.
My thoughts exactly, the 17 we had on the roster weren't quite enough. Unbelievable.
