They’ll have the same starters as last year – Fletcher Cox, Bennie Logan, and Cedric Thornton – and all three are ascending players. Each player has been with the defense since it was introduced in 2013, and coach Chip Kelly said it’s a group “you don’t worry about.”
“We don't spend a whole heck of a lot of time when we're making defensive personnel meetings on the defensive line just because you have so many veterans in those positions, and they're young,” Kelly said.
