San Francisco 49ers safety Adrian Colbert was mic'd up for the second day of the team's mandatory minicamp. You can check out the video below.
As expected, the Niners' starting free safety spends as much time talking as he does practicing. Colbert even gets into a little nickname discussion, which -- along with administering crushing hits on opposing wide receivers -- is one of the second-year defender's claims to fame:
Adrian Colbert is the 49ers nickname maker: He's named Jimmy Garoppolo "James" and Richard Sherman "Uncle Sherm." I don't think either player is too pleased; Sherman openly disapproves (makes him feel old), Garoppolo says the last person who called him James was his grandma.
In addition to Colbert, a number of key players make cameos in the video, including linebacker Reuben Foster, who demonstrates why he's an unlikely candidate to take over the team's punt-return duties this season.
Wide receiver Pierre Garçon also makes an appearance, showcasing his quickness -- and his recovery from last season's neck injury -- with a reception on a drag route.
Overall, the team appears to be loose and having fun during the 49ers' second minicamp practice.
If you missed it, fellow defensive back Richard Sherman was mic'd up for the first day of mandatory minicamp. You can check out Sherman's return to the practice field here.
