Jaquiski Tartt has a lot of people looking out for him these days, even teammates in the San Francisco 49ers defensive backfield.
The team's second-round draft pick out of Samford has been fortunate to learn from two established veteran safeties, plus a childhood friend and high school teammate.
Enter Eric Reid, Antoine Bethea and Jimmie Ward. The first two players represent the entrenched starting safety duo for the 49ers defense. Ward, on the other hand, grew up with Tartt in Mobile, Ala., and has been an added mentor for Tartt in his first month as a professional football player.
