49ers rookie RB Kaelon Black acknowledged that the team hasn’t had a great track record of drafting running backs in the middle rounds but he’s hoping to change that narrative.
“I know one of the things I was hit with before was San Francisco has a habit of drafting running backs in the third to the fifth round, and they don’t play or they don’t pan out, and I’m just trying to change that narrative for myself,” Black said, via Niners Wire. “I don’t want to get grouped with anybody in the past. I’m really just in my own lane, it’s how I’ve been my whole life.”
The Giants embark on their first season under HC John Harbaugh. When asked about their new head coach, EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux said things are now very “different” around the organization.
“This s–t is different,” Thibodeaux said, via Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. “It’s hard. It’s different in a great way. The future is now.”
Giants QB Jaxson Dart said Harbaugh brings intensity and attention to detail.
“Everything that he wants the team to be is himself when it comes to intensity, attention to detail,” Dart said. “From a player perspective, when you see a coach who is able to sacrifice a lot but has a chip on the shoulder at the same time, it’s someone we can all respect and want to play for.”
Harbaugh thinks they’ve established the best group of tight ends in the NFL with Isaiah Likely, Theo Johnson, Chris Manhertz, and Thomas Fidone.
“There’s not a better tight end group, I don’t think, in the league, potentially,” Harbaugh said. “Jaxson has a bunch of guys to go to.”
