Javon Kinlaw, OTAs, and why he may not have another media availability anytime soon

Javon Kinlaw is no stranger to the media. When he speaks publicly, he’s always honest and raw and tells it how it is. Earlier this offseason, Kinlaw joined Brad Graham to talk for over an hour.

The two talked about everything 49ers related, but one topic stood out: Dehumanizing players. Kinlaw stressed that players are humans too, have a breaking point, and shouldn’t be treated like animals.

During Tuesday’s practice, Kinlaw had a run-in with Sports Illustrated’s Grant Cohn, who has been known to poke the bear a time or 20 throughout the season.
