Daniel Kilgore figures to be 49ers starting center, but expects more competition for the job

The San Francisco 49ers signed Daniel Kilgore to a three-year contract extension, but it does not necessarily close the door on additional help at the position. Kilgore spoke to the media Wednesday afternoon, and he acknowledged that the team could decide to add some competition when the new league year begins.

Kilgore acknowledged he has never been the guy slated in as the starter. Last year, Jeremy Zuttah was the competition, and he expects more this year. That being said, he also said John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, “don’t necessarily have to tell me too much of anything, I just show up and go to work every day.
