Kyle Shanahan said at the owners’ meetings that the 49ers would bring in veteran competition for kicker Jake Moody following his disappointing 2024 season. However, there will be a player present at rookie minicamp with designs on convincing them to make him the man to put pressure on their 2023 third-round pick.
Moody was picked by the 49ers after a career at Michigan that saw him win the Lou Groza Award for the best kicker in college football in the 2021 season. For their rookie minicamp, the 49ers have extended an invite to the kicker who claimed that honor for the 2024 campaign, Kenny Almendares out of Louisiana.
