The 49ers weren’t intending to use versatile O-lineman Daniel Brunskill at center in 2020, but his 2021 role still isn’t totally clear.

In 2019, San Francisco 49ers reserve offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill showed enough to warrant serious consideration to be the team’s starting right guard in 2020.

Initially in training camp, that was the plan. Brunskill was to battle it out with then-newly signed backup lineman Tom Compton, while the rest of the Niners O-line was all but set.
