Joe Staley campaigns to get 49ers guard Laken Tomlinson voted to the Pro Bowl

By David Bonilla Dec 11, 2019 at 2:18 PM •





With fan voting closing on Thursday, Keiana Martin asked Staley on 49ers Live which potentially-overlooked teammate is most deserving for a Pro Bowl nod. Staley campaigned for the guard in what looked like a 49ers public service announcement.



"He's a guy that no one blows up," Staley said. "No one shows love to the offensive linemen but Laken is playing terrific football this season. He's setting the tone in the run game. He's been super consistent. He's putting in a ton of hard work this year. He's one of the main reasons why, offensively, we're putting up the numbers we are. It's because of his consistent performance.



"So go out and vote Laken Tomlinson to his first Pro Bowl because he's deserving of it, and he's an unbelievable human being, and he's an unbelievable player. Please, please, please go vote for him."

Former NFL defensive lineman Bryant Young this year will become the 29th inductee into the Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. San Francisco 49ers Hall of Fame.

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo hasn't officially been ruled out of Sunday's game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants. Most don't expect him to play, though.

"One thing that stuck out to me about Jimmy early on was he never backed down from any competition," Judge told reporters on Wednesday. "He's a guy, it didn't matter what room he was in, who he was competing with,

The loss forces San Francisco to play catchup with the rest of the division. It is the only NFC West squad that suffered a defeat during Week 1. The 49ers are back to work this week and beginning preparations for their two-game road trip to the East Coast, where they will face the New York Jets and New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in back-to-back weekends. The team's focus remains on the opponent
