It's a place where we can link and learn,"
Miller told attendees via Broncos Wire. "It's not a teaching clinic, where I get up here and teach. I just show you what makes me good, and likewise, you show me what makes you guys great — what made DeMarcus great — and if we can apply that to our game, we do. If we can't, we can't. But I'm positive that — we've got all these guys here in one spot — we'll be able to learn something."
As for Armstead, the 49ers made him the No. 17 overall selection in 2015. He registered 48 combined tackles and a career-high three sacks through 16 starts with the 49ers in 2018. Armstead has recorded 98 combined tackles, nine sacks, a pass defensed, and a forced fumble through four NFL seasons.

However, his availability over the last two seasons forced the 49ers to reevaluate his contract, and when his salary could not be significantly reduced, the two sides parted ways.

Warner has been in the NFL long enough to understand how the league works. Over the years, he's watched several
