The San Francisco 49ers brain trust of John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan expressed a lot of excitement when they were able to move into the back end of the first round to grab Reuben Foster back in April. He’s a big-hitter who can get around the field with ease. He slipped due to concerns about his shoulder, a failed drug test, and general maturity questions.
Foster did not take part in full team drills at the offseason workout program, instead focusing on individual work as he rehabbed his shoulder. We have repeatedly heard from the 49ers that Foster is making good progress and should be ready for the start of training camp.
