The 49ers commence organized team activities in Santa Clara following significant contract extensions for quarterback Brock Purdy, tight end George Kittle, and linebacker Fred Warner. Key storylines to monitor include the developing connection between Purdy and rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, the integration of new defensive linemen Mykel Williams, Alfred Collins, and C.J. West, and the competition for the nickel back position with third-round pick Upton Stout. Additionally, the offensive line’s left guard vacancy and linebacker support for Warner, particularly from rookie Nick Martin, are crucial elements to watch.
