Getting Ready for Training Camp 101 at Hot Boyzz University. The "legendary" duo of San Francisco 49ers linebackers Kwon Alexander and
Fred Warner are working out together with training camp scheduled to begin shortly.
Our friends over at @TheSFNiners posted the following video of the two on social media.
Warner is entering his third NFL season while Alexander is entering his sixth, and second with the 49ers. NFL players have been forced to work out on their own all offseason due to the coronavirus pandemic and have been unable to enter team facilities or meet face-to-face with the training staff. The virus, which continues to see rising numbers of cases across the country, threatens to shorten or even potentially cancel the upcoming season.
NFL players, like Warner and Alexander, however, continue to prepare as if training camps and the season are right around the corner. The league is trying to finalize plans to keep players safe from the virus as teams get ready to ramp up preparations for the 2020 season.
Warner recorded a team-leading 118 tackles, three sacks, nine passes defensed, an interception, a touchdown, and three forced fumbles through 16 games with the 49ers in 2019.
Alexander missed eight games due to a torn pectoral muscle but returned for San Francisco's playoff run. He registered 34 combined tackles, 0.5 sacks, four passes defensed, an interception, and a forced fumble through eight regular-season starts last season.

49ers' Fred Warner addresses Armstead's departure, Greenlaw's recovery, Super Bowl window
The news of Arik Armstead's departure from the San Francisco 49ers after nine seasons with the team shocked linebacker Fred Warner. Armstead, a former first-round pick, was an impactful force on the football field. 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.
"Huge surprise," Warner said of learning that Armstead was being released. "Ever since I've been here, we called him the blueprint for how to be a Niner. That was the longest-tenured Niner that's been here and a guy that's done it right through and through."
Warner has been in the NFL long enough to understand how the league works. Over the years, he's watched several

Lynch and Shanahan discuss implications of drafting Pearsall on 49ers' Aiyuk and Samuel
The San Francisco 49ers made a surprising move with the No. 31 overall pick, marking their first Round 1 selection since 2021. While speculation swirled around the possibility of drafting a wide receiver, few anticipated the choice of Ricky Pearsall from Florida.
Leading up to the pick, there was widespread speculation that the 49ers might trade wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel. As the first round progressed, it appeared that neither would be moved. Pearsall's selection reignited such discussions.
General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to Bay Area radio station KNBR following the completion of the first round, fielding questions about the implications of Pearsall's selection for the team's veteran wideouts.

Insider: 49ers more likely to trade Deebo Samuel after drafting Ricky Pearsall
It will come down to what makes the most financial sense for the San Francisco 49ers. Michael Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that, based on conversations with other teams, there's a growing sentiment that the 49ers are now more likely to trade wide receiver Deebo Samuel following the selection of former Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall with the No. 31 overall pick.
