The San Francisco 49ers are a chic sleeper pick around the NFL this season, and fans are getting excited about their chances. They were not the “offseason champ” when it comes to transactions, but the five-game winning streak to close the season has raised expectations.
The players reported to training camp on Wednesday, and we got some initial media availability from a handful of veterans, along with John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan. DeForest Buckner, Jimmy Garoppolo, Richard Sherman, and Joe Staley met with the media to talk about the offseason, camp, and 2018 expectations.
