Randy Gregory pressures Chicago quarterback Justin Fields for the Denver Broncos in his last game as a starter before being traded to the 49ers.Virtually everyone agrees he is an explosive, twitchy athlete who at 6-foot-5 and 242 pounds was born to rush the passer.
Signed as the heir apparent to Von Miller by the Broncos before the 2022 season, Gregory wound up playing in 10 of 21 games because of knee and shoulder injuries. The Broncos, under new coach Sean Payton, dealt him and a seventh-round draft pick to the 49ers in exchange for a sixth-round pick. “I have everything where it needs to be,” Gregory said. “Mentally, if I’m in order in that aspect I’m pretty good. My family life is pretty good right now. Kids are happy, fed. I have a newborn so I’m little bit worried about that. I want to be home with him, but I understand what’s at stake but I’m a big boy and I’ve got a job to take care of.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said “guys close to him and guys that I know vouch for him” and respected locker room leadersGregory went home to Denver to for the weekend and watched the 49ers’ 42-10 win over his former team with interest. Gregory’s previous transgressions have invited skeptics, which he understands but hopes to win over through his play.
