Why two former 49ers believe S Jimmie Ward would be a good pick-up for San Francisco
Former 49ers players Patrick Willis and Donte Whitner discussed the potential benefits of bringing back safety Jimmie Ward. Willis emphasized Ward’s experience in coverage and leadership, while Whitner noted Ward’s mentoring potential for younger defensive backs despite his age. Additionally, Luke Kuechly praised receiver Mike Evans for his competitiveness and ability to fit into the 49ers’ locker room. The team is also considering Caleb Lomu in the draft, with concerns about his run-blocking skills in Kyle Shanahan’s system.
