San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was trying to explain the importance of this week to the young prospects on his Senior Bowl squad on Tuesday when NFL Network cameras and audio caught a little more than they bargained for.
"Make sure you're on time, whether it's weigh-ins, whether it's meeting with us, whether it's an appointment you have with anyone here because those are the questions everyone wants to ask of you," Shanahan told the players on the South squad at the conclusion of Tuesday's practice. "You'll f--king do everything perfect here and then one f--king..."
That was when NFL Network quickly cut away.
Shanahan felt he needed to speak to the players because a couple of them were late to meetings earlier this week. He was asked on Thursday about that speech and if it resonated with the draft prospects.
"It did because it was neat that I haven't had to say anything again," Shanahan told reporters on Thursday after the final Senior Bowl practice of the week. "It's good that guys can figure that out because if guys were late this week and stuff, it's not like we can fine them. It's not like we're going to cut them. We're coaching an all-star game.
"So we're just trying to help them out and stuff. But to tell guys people are watching and you don't want to show that you're that type of person, and no one has done it since, (it shows) we've had a good group of guys."
Shanahan was asked if his wife was watching on television as he delivered the speech.
"No, she wasn't," Shanahan responded. "Thank goodness. It did get back to her."
What did she think of his language?
"She actually -- she likes that," Shanahan said while laughing. "She's got a bad mouth also."
Honesty like that has made the 49ers head coach very endearing to fans.

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
Brock Purdy hopes Kyle Shanahan makes addition to 49ers playbook
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy threw for a franchise-record 4,280 yards last season, leading the team to the Super Bowl and earning his first Pro Bowl selection. He held onto the football 39 times on the ground, rushing for 144 yards and scoring twice. This marked a significant improvement over his rookie 2022 campaign when he had 22 carries for 13 yards and a score.
Purdy further displayed his athleticism during the 49ers' playoff game against the Detroit Lions last season, helping engineer a comeback victory while rushing for 48 yards on five carries.
On Tuesday morning, Purdy joined the "Pat McAfee Show," acknowledging that he believes he can contribute more rushing yards if called upon. However, that decision rests with head coach Kyle Shanahan,
7-round mock draft has 49ers adding 2 legacy players
Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus unveiled a seven-round mock draft for the San Francisco 49ers, addressing several key needs for the team in the 10-pick projection. Interestingly, the mock draft sees the team adding two legacy players. But before delving into that, let's examine the first three selections.
Sikkema has the 49ers shoring up their offensive line at pick No. 31 with the selection of former Arizona offensive tackle Jordan Morgan.
Morgan allowed 14 pressures and two sacks in his 477 pass-blocking snaps at left tackle in 2023. He earned an impressive pass-blocking grade of 87.3 and an overall grade of
49ers legacy players add a 'fun element' to 2024 NFL Draft
The upcoming NFL Draft holds special significance for the San Francisco 49ers, with ties to several familiar faces from the team's past. A handful of legacy players hope to make their mark, possibly receiving a life-changing call from 49ers general manager John Lynch.
Brenden Rice, son of Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice, is one such player. The former USC wideout is projected to be a fourth-round draft pick and had the opportunity to meet with the 49ers at the NFL Scouting Combine.
When asked about the possibility of joining his father's former team, Brenden confidently expressed, "Honestly, I just
