Top Pick Williams Impression, Collins watches

Santa Clara – No. 98 crouched down in his position as Pass -Rush, dug his fingers in the virgin grass of his new house, then growled as he exploded towards the models.

One of these “models” was a member of the staff protected by Pad who was died and upset.

Friday scored the first training of Mykel Williams in a uniform of the 49ers, although a mini-recruit mini-camp with more guys who try (30) than those signed or drafted (21).

Robert Saleh, in his first training as a defensive coordinator of the 49ers, was quietly observed with a look of approval a few meters behind Williams. By virtue of the Williams pedigree as a choice of global recovery n ° 11, he indeed looked like the best player on the field, and he looked comfortable with this stature while growl with DJ’s music.

Williams is the key element of the revised defensive line of the 49ers, and this unit changed even more Friday when the first choice in 2022 Drake Jackson was canceled with a failed physical designation. Williams has not played since he has torn a patellar tendon in the middle of the 2023 season.

While the defensive line worked alone during the exercises of an hour on Friday, the choice of recovery from the second round Alfred Collins was strictly an observer due to an apparent veal problem, although he has engaged and supported his new teammates. “I’m going to go well,” said Collins Thursday about his health.

The defensive comrade CJ West worked in the mixture with his compact frame (6 feet 1 inch, 315 pounds). This Recruit Trio of Williams, Collins and West arrived among the first five draft choices of the 49ers two weeks ago, so this mini-camp was their first exhibition not only to the exercises of the 49ers, but also to their first taste of the vocal commands of the coach of the defensive line Kris Kocurek.

“No expectations right now. They have a long way to go about understanding what we are doing,” said Saleh. “First, the norm we play, and the style of the ball we expect to play. And then in addition to that, you have the diagram and you understand all the nuances that we are going to ask them.”

Inside the tandem

West (fourth round) had no trouble spotting Collins (second round) upon arrival Thursday at Mineta International Airport in San Jose. “It’s a bit difficult to miss it. It is huge,” said West about Collins (6 feet 5 inches, 332 pounds). “I recognized it right away and I said:” He is my new teammate, so I have to make a link and do everything I can so that we can succeed. “”

Collins, in turn, spotted the west – “it also stands out” – and envisaged them by forming a first -rate tandem. “He is ready to work, ready to be one of the grown -ups. I can’t wait to work with him,” said Collins. “I’m going to work. It looks like he’s going to work. I’m delighted to see where it’s okay. “

Collins, which has a strange resemblance to the cousin and the old offensive platform of the 49ers Trent Brown, wants to prove itself as a versatile as a long -standing veteran of the NFL Calais Campbell. “I like the way he plays everywhere on the field and how he attacks his work to be great,” added Collins.

Objective of the golden jacket

Junior Bergen’s dream scenario for his career extends far beyond the simple manufacture of the 49ers as a return specialist in Montana. “I want to be in the temple of fame (pro football). This is my goal since I was a child, no matter where it is on the field,” said Bergen. “My father, when we trained when I was younger, we always talked about golden jackets. That’s why I’m going to work and try to get there.”

Bergen completed the recovery class of 11 men from the 49ers as a potential turnover of the cottage of release written n ° 252 in total, which is 11 places higher than the Brock Purdy slot machine in 2022, to which Bergen declared: “There were a lot of guys in the league which created their own niche. One is a quarter-back leaving for us. world.”

Secondary coverage

Do not leave the affinity of Nick Martin to carry slippers on the theme of soft animals to be mistaken by thinking that he is a sweet in the secondary. More symbolic can be the dagger tattoo on its left forearm. “When I put this helmet in the equipment room, I had chills and I was ready to leave, but in due time,” said Martin, who could not attack anyone from a knee injury on September 28.

Martin delighted journalists with the way he grew up by boxing his three older brothers, one of which is 6 feet 5 inches while the others get closer to his height of 5-11.

Martin’s battle is now to reproduce Dre Greenlaw’s ability to associate with Fred Warner. “They always try to punish the guy with the ball. I appreciate that their game and how they play together. It’s really cool to see,” said Martin. “You play the game with this reckless abandonment and this controlled assault. You play for the guy next to you. It was everywhere on the field as they played.”

At Recrue Minicamp, the secondary seconds could have the best opportunity to win a job and to fill an exhausted unit, those being Tristan Sinclair (Stanford), Michael Moore (Alabama-Birmingham) and Ty Frenh (Virginie-Western).

Brand time?

Without doubt no choice of draft has never been expressed more at the start of his career than the Upton Stout Coin Half, which repeatedly shouted “Let’s do it, coach!” to the brass of the 49ers during his phone call on the day of the draft. Stout is too busy studying the film and the game book to be released and the brand of the coming season. “No, Nah. It was just something I said during this period. It was not a sentence,” said Stout. “I was just excited to go to work. In the future, once I manage things, maybe it will be at stake. ”

Iowa inspiration

The offensive line player Connor Colby, a choice of seventh round and n ° 249 in total, explained how his Alma Mater Iowa considers the inheritance of George Kittle there: “Coach (Kirk) Ferentz always talks about successful stories like his, there is just a choice of subsequent draft (the fifth round 2017) and to transform it.”. Kittle, however, could be the best late Iowa product, because it has become the most prolific tight end of the 49ers out of eight seasons, although Merton Hanks was a fifth round choice in 1991 and Quadruple Bowler Pro which started in the last Super Bowl team of the 49ers in 1994.

Deep threat

Isaiah Neyor, one of the six unrelated free agents, the 49ers signed last week, seems to be the main candidate to travel deep roads in the coming months. After having dealt with a problem in the lower leg at the start of the Friday session, he had a land seizure along the sidelines, a road similar to that of Danny Gray used to travel his short term. Neyor said he had grown up trying to imitate Dez Bryant.
