The San Francisco 49ers roster is young. There are a significant number of players who have never visited historic Lambeau Field. The
last time the 49ers played there was in 2013 for a playoff game. Nearly half of the 53-man roster has two-or-fewer years of NFL experience.
One young player who is excited to play at Lambeau Field is second-year wide receiver Trent Taylor, whose family grew up cheering the Green Bay Packers. Taylor
joined KNBR on Thursday morning and discussed his upcoming visit to the iconic stadium.
"I'm pretty pumped up for it," Taylor said on the "Murph & Mac" show. "That's something that I've always loved to watch and loved to hear about growing up. You hear everybody talk about Lambeau Field and now that I have the opportunity to actually play there. It's going to be something pretty exciting."
The real question, Taylor admits, is if he can convince his family to wear 49ers red and not Packers green on Monday night.
Said Taylor: "I think my family, all my relatives might be a little more pumped up than I am because they've all been Packers fans growing up, and they're all coming to the game Monday night. They're pretty psyched out about it."

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
