It’s amusing to see grand proclamations during OTA practices, regardless of position. How can you possibly come to the conclusion that an offensive lineman is standing out when there are no padded practices? Should we really be impressed by skill players when they don’t have to face the physicality that comes during training camp?
The answer is no, but in a day and age where you have to have an opinion about everything, that isn’t stopping anybody. The San Francisco 49ers wrapped up their voluntary offseason workout Thursday with their final OTA practice. They’ll have two mandatory minicamp practices next week before taking a month and a half or so break until training camp kicks off.
