49ers' Biggest Weaknesses Ahead of 2022 NFL Training Camp
The San Francisco 49ers are on track to begin the 2022 NFL season with a new starting quarterback and center.
San Francisco committed to Trey Lance under center once the 2021 season ended, but it still has not traded or cut Jimmy Garoppolo.
Lance appears to be the starter no matter what Garoppolo's status on the roster is, but that decision comes with a big question mark since the 2021 first-round pick has played minimal snaps over the last three years.
The 49ers will definitely have a new center in place after Alex Mack's recent retirement. The NFC West side will likely use internal candidates to replace Mack, but the drop-off from a perennial Pro Bowler could hurt it early in the season.
