Over the summer, the San Francisco 49ers announced their 2017 Bill Walsh Coaching Fellows. There are several notable names that have various connections to the 49ers coaching staff and front office.
General manager John Lynch brought in a familiar face in Nick Ferguson. Lynch and Ferguson have known each other since their playing days back in Denver, of which they shared four seasons 2004-2007. Ferguson was a free safety and Lynch was a strong safety. Ferguson has been working with the 49ers defensive backs during training camp.
Ferguson never thought he’d be a coach.
