The San Francisco 49ers wrapped up their second practice of training camp Saturday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan gave four important player updates to note.
The San Fransisco 49ers officially have two practices in the books for training camp 2017. On Saturday, USA Today's Rob Lowder took note of an offense that improved over day one's session.
49ers new head coach Kyle Shanahan went in a different direction though, taking questions from various media outlets. Here are his four most notable updates:
No. 1- DE/DT Solomon Thomas
Dumervil is expected to be a huge part of the 49ers sub-packages in the nickle this season, as a third down edge-rusher.
No.3- WR Marquise Goodwin
Robinson participated in a sled drill with the cornerbacks and Lowder caught a glimpse into the action.
The drill was run by defensive backs coach Jeff Hafley. In the video, you can hear Hafley say:
"I wanna see you keep your feet moving!"
Robinson comes highly regarded after today, according to Cam Inman, as he was able to keep up with the aforementioned Goodwin on a deep pass.
Robinson and Goodwin have been competing since the 49ers game against the Buffalo Bills last season. So what does Shanahan think of Robinson? Lowder tweeted this out shortly after practice:
Shanahan also said:
"I just like that he's himself. I think that's who Rashard is. I just want people to be themselves. He acts the same way on the practice field as he does when I see him. He's always talking. He's got a smile on his face. He likes to mess with you. We like to mess with him back. I like that he's a confident guy who's not scared to be himself. Someone's talking a lot and that's not who they are, they're putting on a show, everyone can see through that and those are the guys who will irritate you. I think Rashard's been that since the day he was born and will probably be that until the day he dies and I respect him for it."
Robinson is expected to be the 49ers no. 1 cornerback this season.
