49ers will host Boise State DE Kamalei Correa
Add
Boise State DE Kamalei Correa to the
growing list of draft prospects that the San Francisco 49ers will be hosting. The former Bronco will be visiting with the New Orleans Saints as well, with his visits beginning this weekend, per Tony Pauline of Draft Insider.
Correa was listed as 6-foot-3 and 243 pounds at the NFL Combine. He has an arm span of 31 5/8 inches and hands that measured in at 9 3/8 inches. He recorded a 4.69 second 40-time, 33-inch vertical jump, and a 108-inch broad jump. He could be used as an outside linebacker if drafted by San Francisco.

Lance Zierlein of NFL Media, who compared him to Frank Zombo,
had the following to say about Correa:
Correa will likely transition into a full-time 3-4 outside linebacker as a pro. While he doesn't have as much play strength as expected and is still raw as a pass rusher, NFL teams will be attracted by his quick-twitch athleticism and moldable traits as a pass rusher. The tape says Day 3 of the draft, but the upside could get him called earlier. He might require patience as there is still work to be done for Correa.

During his three years with Boise State, Correa had 107 career tackles, 19 sacks, two pass breakups and four forced fumbles. In 2014, he finished the season with 12 sacks and 19 tackles for loss.

49ers-Eagles: Goal line stand turns the tide after shaky 49ers start
If there was one significant turning point in the San Francisco 49ers' 17-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, it was most likely the unexpected goal line stand members of the defense produced after a 91-yard pass put their backs against the wall in the second quarter.
Down 3-0 to the Eagles with just over seven minutes remaining in the half, the 49ers had a long field behind them after a punt from Mitch Wishnowsky pinned the Eagles at their own three-yard line. But on the first play after the punt, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts went deep for wide receiver Quez Watkins, who went for 91 yards before being brought down by safety Jaquiski Tartt and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir at the 49ers' six-yard line. A pass interference call on cornerback Josh Norman two plays

Where the 49ers sit in power rankings for Week 1 of the 2021 season
As the excitement builds for the kickoff of the NFL regular season, we gain insight into media expectations via the final 2021 preseason power rankings for the San Francisco 49ers.
For the avid NFL football fan, there is perhaps no act so trivial, yet so enjoyable, than participating in an NFL mock draft. I challenge you to identify an activity countless fans engage in for fun despite their realistic expectations of complete and utter failure.
Similar is the process of preseason power rankings, which can be quite entertaining to review at the conclusion of the season -- provided you weren't the one doing the ranking. The glaring difference between the two is power rankings are written with the intention of being correct; but like mock drafts or final roster
Baldy reveals why Nick Bosa is the 49ers player he is most excited to watch
For those who may have doubted, George Kittle has repeatedly said that his San Francisco 49ers teammate, Nick Bosa, is pretty good at football. Unfortunately, fans didn't see much of the defensive end in his second NFL season, as his sophomore campaign was cut short by an ACL injury.
While injury after injury followed Bosa's, the loss of the 2019 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year was greatly felt throughout the roster. San Francisco finished with just six wins after entering the season with Super Bowl aspirations.
NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger joined 95.7 The Game on Tuesday and was asked which 49ers player he is most excited to see on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. He answered before the question could be finished.
"Bosa!" Baldinger quickly
