Consider this part of
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.

John Lynch: 49ers QB Trey Lance having a 'really, really quality offseason'
During an interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch once again called Brock Purdy the "leader in the clubhouse" when it comes to the team's starting quarterback job. Purdy earned that with his superb play last season as a rookie, helping guide the 49ers to eight consecutive wins before an NFC Championship Game loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Purdy suffered a UCL tear in that game and will miss most or all of this offseason. That opens the door for Trey Lance or Sam Darnold to impress coaches and potentially climb the depth chart. Lance opened last season as the 49ers' starter but suffered a season-ending ankle injury during Week 2.
The 49ers haven't lost faith in their former No. 3 overall draft pick. They still see a lot
John Lynch: 49ers 'incredibly encouraged' after Brock Purdy throwing session
Brock Purdy started throwing this week, and it sounds like the San Francisco 49ers are pleased with their second-year quarterback's progress. While Purdy isn't doing anything overly taxing, it is the first time he is throwing a football—albeit reportedly a lighter-weighted one.
Purdy underwent surgery on March 10 to repair the tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow, an injury suffered against the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game. His recovery is expected to last into late August or early September—barring any setbacks.
"There are certain markers that you hit," general manager John Lynch said Wednesday morning on SiriusXM NFL Radio. "He was 12 weeks out, and that meant it was time to throw. He did so and
Arik Armstead talks Steve Wilks, Nick Bosa, Javon Hargrave, and 49ers' QB situation
Arik Armstead is looking forward to the upcoming season. There is a lot to look forward to. His San Francisco 49ers have been to the NFC Championship Game three times over the past four seasons. They once again have a competitive roster and look to make another run at a Super Bowl championship.
Armstead joined Adam Schefter on the ESPN insider's podcast, discussing several 49ers-related topics.
New defensive coordinator Steve Wilks
Steve Wilks replaces DeMeco Ryans as defensive coordinator. Armstead had nothing but praise for his former coordinator, who left to be the Houston Texans' head coach, but looks forward to working with Wilks.
Wilks isn't expected to make any drastic changes in his first season helming the 49ers defense.

Offensive Line Coach/Run Game Coordinator Chris Foerster
Obviously, you had a big change at right tackle with Denver Broncos T Mike McGlinchey leaving this off season, what is your confidence level in OL Colton McKivitz and where does that kind of stem from?
"Colton, he's done a great job for us through the years he's been here. He's always had to fill in short spells and has done a good job for
