Training camp should unleash great competition among a deeper cornerback unit while the safeties look for Talanoa Hufanga’s ACL return.
San Francisco 49ers’ Talanoa Hufanga celebrates his interception against the New York Giants in the fourth quarter at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023. SANTA CLARA – A priority for the 49ers this offseason was to nail down a nickel back who can smother slot receivers and stick his nose in on run defense.
Overlooked in the process is recognizing how well Charvarius Ward and Deommodore Lenoir paired as last season’s starting cornerbacks. When it comes to the 49ers’ defense, so much attention is cast on Nick Bosa leading the front line and Fred Warner dominating at linebacker. The secondary, however, appears deeper now in what should be another championship-contending season.
The 49ers invested in free agency to bring in Yiadom, Lucas and Ya-Sin, all of whom have valuable experience and could make strong cases to stick on the roster, if not compete for significant roles. Yiadom looked best in offseason workouts open to the media, and he is coming off a career-best season with the Saints; he has also played for the Broncos, the Giants, the Packers and the Texans.Ambry Thomas’s three-year career has been peculiar, to say the least.
