“The video does not make it clear why Rice, who is generally very accommodating to the media, became so irate.
“We talked to Jerry — he says the guys had smirks on their faces and were trolling him,” wrote Michael J. Babcock, an executive producer for TMZ.
Babcock adds that Rice said, “I’m going to defend the San Francisco 49ers.”
“At that point in the draft, wide receiver was the best talent value,” Sikkema wrote. “By drafting Pearsall, San Francisco gave itself backup if Aiyuk did end up being traded. And if Aiyuk was back in the fold, they’d have an even deeper and more talented offense. Pearsall can play all three receiver spots with skill, speed and toughness.”
Steve Young: ‘Elite’ 49ers QB Brock Purdy will only get better
“He’s gonna be able to get the ball out quickly,” Young continued. “He has to. He said to everyone, ‘I’m not as big, I’m not as fast, I’m not as strong. I can’t just wait in the pocket and then sling it.’ So he’s going to process, and he’s going to get the ball out, and then people are going to start to see that, and they’re going to start running where he’s looking because he knows he’s got to let it go. And he’s going to have to change his game as people get more of a beat on him.”
State of the 49ers, LB: Will Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw’s tackling bounce back? (paywall)
“Warner recently singled out Winters, saying the fleet-footed linebacker had perhaps “the best OTAs out of anybody on the team.” Winters’ rookie role was mostly limited to special teams. This year he has a shot at the strongside linebacker job, especially when Greenlaw is still recovering from his Super Bowl injury.”
Why Juszczyk is confident Aiyuk, 49ers will get contract done
“I totally see it from both sides,” Juszczyk told Maiocco. “I support [Aiyuk] as a friend and as a teammate to try and get whatever he thinks he deserves and what he wants, and what is going to make him the most comfortable going forward. I really do think they will get it done with the Niners. Because he wants to be a Niner, they want him to be a Niner, and those are the two most important things. When you have that want on both sides, I think eventually you’ll get it done.”
