The 49ers have worked to bolster their defensive line this offseason with one apparent area of focus: speed.

The San Francisco 49ers have been busy this offseason, re-signing the bulk of their massive NFL free agency list heading into the spring, including left tackle Trent Williams, fullback Kyle Juszczyk, and cornerbacks Jason Verrett and Emmanuel Moseley.

Outside of cornerback, a group that also includes the reported return of slot corner K’Waun Williams, the Niners have spent the most offseason resources adding bodies along the defensive line.
