Last year was a tough one for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but luckily he had teammate Jerick McKinnon by his side going through a similar ordeal. Garoppolo tore his ACL just a few weeks into the season and missed the rest of the year, and McKinnon had already torn an ACL during training […]

Many analysts believe San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has a long and successful career ahead of him. One of the main reasons for that is where he started his career. The quarterback began his career with the New England Patriots. That means he got the opportunity to learn from head coach Bill Belichick and […]

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is looking to bounce back in 2019. Coming off a torn ACL that cost him most of last season, Garoppolo wants to prove that his great starts at the end of 2017 weren’t a fluke and that he’s worth the massive contract the 49ers handed him. The 49ers have […]

The San Francisco 49ers have done a good job of building up their skill positions around Jimmy Garoppolo, including the drafting of Dante Pettis. The young receiver from Washington showed a lot of promise as a rookie and has the potential to be a top option for Garoppolo moving forward. Jimmy G missed almost all […]

It’s no secret that Robbie Gould no longer wants to be in San Francisco, but the 49ers have not given in to his desire to be traded. As a result, the kicker is not guaranteeing that he will be at training camp later this month. “I’m not going to commit to making any decision right […]

The San Francisco 49ers generated plenty of hype last year with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo set to enter his first season as a full-fledged starter. Unfortunately, things quickly came to a halt in Week 3 when he suffered a torn ACL. Despite the injury, expectations still seem to be as high as ever in San Francisco. […]

The San Francisco 49ers are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 4-12 campaign last season. And the best way for them to do this is by getting the most out of their players with training camp coming closer each week. Training camp is a time in the season when players must prove their worth […]

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is ready for his bounce-back year. The 49ers were one of the most buzzed-about teams in the league heading into last season, as there was a ton of anticipation for Garoppolo’s first full season with the team. Garoppolo looked excellent and helped the 49ers rattle off five straight wins […]

The San Francisco 49ers are coming off of a 2018 campaign in which they won just four games and missed the playoffs for the fifth straight season, but going into 2019, there is some reason for hope. No, the 49ers are not playoff contenders by any means, but there is a whole lot of young […]

It’s strange to hear that a player that’s labeled as the franchise quarterback only a year ago is in a make or break situation. Even more unusual when it’s after him coming off of an ACL tear in the third week of last season. But that’s where quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo finds himself in his second […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis is making quite the impression with fans. His strong play at the end of his rookie season is catapulting himself to being a fan favorite.

The San Francisco 49ers are one of the NFL’s more intriguing teams entering 2019. No, they are not a playoff contender, but they are an improving young ballclub that could be in the process of starting something special in the Bay.

One of the most recognizable voices in San Francisco 49ers history Don Klein passed away Wednesday at a retirement home in Santa Rosa, California at the age of 95 according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Klein is best known for calling “The Catch” during the 1981 NFC Championship game at Candlestick Park. Joe Montana threw […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin has a bone to pick with the NFL on multiple fronts. The speedster was crowned the winner of the 40 Yards of Gold event. It appears Goodwin’s latest display of speed drew some unwanted attention from the NFL after he was drug tested by the league following the […]

San Francisco 49ers wideout Marquise Goodwin may be getting a nice payday for winning Saturday’s “40 yards of Gold” competition, but he’ll have to wait a bit longer for the money. Daniel Kaplan of TheAthletic.com reports that event organizers have instructed competitors not to try to cash their checks until Friday, July 5. Per Kaplan, […]

One of the more anticipated days for NFL rookies is learning their Madden rating, and that day came on Monday for Nick Bosa and the rest of the San Francisco 49ers rookies. Bosa was given the highest rating for a rookie on the 49ers coming in at 78, which is also the third highest rating […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin is officially the fastest player in the NFL. Not to mention $1 million richer.

Every season, the NFL hands out the Comeback Player of the Year Award to a player who missed an extended period of time the prior season. Most of the time the player missed an abundance of games due to injury. In 2018, we witnessed Andrew Luck come back from a serious shoulder injury that held […]

The San Francisco 49ers selected Ohio State defensive lineman Nick Bosa with the second overall pick in the draft for a reason, and Bosa’s collegiate defensive college coach knows exactly why: “Nick has a high ceiling because he got all of this work early,” Buckeyes defensive line coach Larry Johnson told Larry Krueger and NBC […]

Once considered potentially career-threatening, the all-encompassing evolution of sports medicine has rendered torn ACLs an injury from which the vast majority of professional athletes make a full recovery. It’s even become normal for players to come back from a torn ACL less than a year after initially suffering the injury, and on some occasions closer […]

During the Legion of Boom era, the Seattle Seahawks locker room was notoriously close-knit, and many of the players often joked around and were highly competitive. With their practices and get-togethers often the stuff of stories, there’s bound to be some love still lingering, and judging by Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett’s latest comments, that seems […]

When Jimmy Garoppolo went down with a torn ACL early last season, it derailed most of the San Francisco 49ers hopes for the year. With Garoppolo slowly working his way back from the injury, though, the team can begin to hope once again that their young quarterback can lead the group through a competitive NFC […]

The San Francisco 49ers opted to go with a wide receiver in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft in April, taking South Carolina’s Deebo Samuel with the 36th overall pick. With the 49ers not having any standout wide outs in their roster, Samuel could be in for a big season, and former NFL […]

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is still working back from his ACL injury and hasn’t taken any contact yet.

Garoppolo knows that is something that he is […]

The San Francisco 49ers and Robbie Gould remain in a dispute about the kicker’s future. “It’s a complicated situation,” Gould told NBCChicago.com this week, via a transcript from NBCBayArea.com. “The way I’ve kind of approached it is, I want to spend time with my family. And I let my agent handle it, and if anything comes […]

The NFL is filled with plenty of transcendent talent among all 32 teams that the league has to offer. Some players are given more recognition than others—with some becoming “underrated”. Players like Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers are at the forefront of the quarterbacks that everyone mentions as “the best”—and deservedly so. Although, […]

Nick Bosa made the calculated, controversial decision to refrain from posting about conservative politics on social media once it became clear he would soon be a member of the San Francisco 49ers, playing football in one of America’s most forward-thinking cities. While the No. 2 overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft likely made the […]

Richard Sherman is now known for the player he used to be as much for the one as he currently is. That’s not necessarily a slight to the San Francisco 49ers cornerback, either, but more a reflection of just how dominant he was during his prime with the Seattle Seahawks. If at least a portion […]

The San Francisco 49ers are a young team no one expects to contend for a playoff spot in 2019, so there is no real pressure. However, it is important for the 49ers to at least show some improvement and take some concrete steps forward, showing that San Francisco can legitimately challenge the Los Angeles Rams […]

Patience is not a virtue in great supply in the NFL, but it is the best policy when dealing with the development of most draft picks. Very few players go on to be instant superstars in their rookie year and, for many, year two is the season in which they make the jump. So, as […]

San Francisco 49ers punter Mitch Wishnowsky has been “filthy with it” during offseason practice. His teammate, punt returner Trent Taylor, made the revelation to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Jennifer Lee Chan on June 20. #49ers Trent Taylor says punter Mitch Wishnowsky “has been filthy with it.” “He has some serious hang time. I feel like […]

Jimmy Garoppolo is liking what he sees from Trent Taylor. The San Francisco 49ers suffered a lot of injuries last year, and their season was essentially ended by Garoppolo’s ACL tear. Naturally Garoppolo and other big names like Jerick McKinnon, also recovering from an ACL tear, have gotten most of the attention. But Taylor was […]

Dante Pettis did some good things at San Francisco 49ers minicamp. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has noticed a much different Pettis out on the practice field compared to a year ago. That bodes well for the second-year wideout and the 49ers offense, which lacked a single 500-yard wide receiver last season. “Dante’s body is maturing,” Garoppolo […]

Former New York Giants interior offensive lineman Weston Richburg could become a key piece of an up-and-coming and very talented San Francisco 49ers team in 2019-20. Signing with the NFC West franchise in March 2018 by way of a five-year free agent contract, Richburg previously spent his entire NFL playing career as a member of […]

The San Francisco 49ers are certainly not low on key position players heading into the 2019-20 campaign, though the up-and-coming NFC West franchise will continue to get its offensive line in place throughout the offseason. However, 49ers offensive line coach John Benton believes that Josh Garnett has the ability to win a starting job in […]

San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Joe Staley’s durability and professionalism has gotten the attention of offensive line coach John Benton. Benton sung Staley’s praises to The Athletic’s Dave Lombardi on June 17. “I’m not sure Joe gets the credit he deserves for what he does. Aside from the age, it might be an added mutual […]

The San Francisco 49ers are making strides in finishing their rebuild. They seem to be on the cusp of where the John Lynch-Kyle Shanahan regime wants them to be. However, they’re still a long way away from the playoffs. It’s not the likeliest transition for a team to go from 4-12 to a playoff team, […]
