John Lynch would shock 49ers fans by cutting this former starter

Before training camp started, the San Francisco 49ers' safety position was perhaps the biggest area of concern for general manager John Lynch and Co.

With Malik Mustapha out until mid-season rehabbing a torn ACL from last season, multiple starting spots were available between a host of players. Most expected the Niners' third-round pick from 2023 and last year's starter, J'Ayir Brown, to take one of the safety positions with free-agent signing Jason Pinnock taking the other.

But as training camp has progressed, rookie Marques Sigle has thrown a wrench into this plan, playing his way into a potential starting spot.
