49ers rookies West, Collins ready to become ‘heartbeat’ of D-line originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Alfred Collins and C.J. West, two defensive linemen for the 49ers, are eager to start their NFL journey together, despite their differing physical attributes. West, a 6-foot-1, 316-pound defensive tackle, excels in clogging the center, while Collins, at 6-foot-6 and 20 pounds heavier, aims to bolster the run defense. Both rookies are committed to developing a strong bond and adapting to the coaching style of defensive line coach Kris Kocurek in preparation for their first NFL season.
