49ers rookie is barrelling toward stealing a starting job in training camp

With the San Francisco 49ers finally getting training camp underway this week, there will undoubtedly be some interesting battles to keep an eye on over the next six weeks.

While the depth charts at some positions seem fairly easy to predict at this point, others are still up in the air. And we're thinking the safety position falls into the latter category.

The big news at safety during the offseason, of course, was the departure of 2022 First-Team All-Pro Talanoa Hufanga, who signed a three-year, $39 million contract with the Denver Broncos. But the Niners know what it's like to be without him already, as he missed 17 of 34 regular-season games over the last two years.
