Safeties

  • Jaquiski Tartt
  • Adrian Colbert
  • Marcell Harris
  • Tarvarius Moore

Tartt and Colbert will provide a physical presence on the back end of the defense. Marcell Harris and Tarvarius Moore are two second-year players who will provide good depth and rotational ability. As stated earlier, Jimmie Ward will also log a lot of time at safety as well.

Player to watch: Antone Exum

Special Teams

  • Robbie Gould
  • Mitch Wishnowsky
  • Colin Holba

Robbie Gould has been one of the best kickers in the game for quite some time now. Wishnowsky was the best punter prospect in the draft this year, hence the 49ers picking him in the fourth round. The younger Holba should win the long snapper battle over Kyle Nelson.
