SANTA CLARA – Here’s who stood out during the sixth padded practice of training camp.
THE GOOD
1. TE George Kittle. Jimmy Garoppolo’s favorite target throughout training camp. Caught five passes from Garoppolo today: Two 15-yarders, a 16-yarder, a 19-yarder and a 30-yard touchdown pass. Kittle seems healthier and faster than last year, and hasn’t dropped a pass during training camp. He should have a good season.
2. DT DeForest Buckner. Beat starting left guard Laken Tomlinson easily all morning. Beat him for a sack early on, then beat him later for a quick quarterback pressure and forced Garoppolo to make a bad throw, which cornerback Greg Mabin picked off.
