49ers' Laken Tomlinson on rookie Javon Kinlaw: 'He's going to be a monster out there'

By David Bonilla Sep 7, 2020

Reporter reviews of San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw during training camp were mixed. That's not necessarily unexpected for a rookie defender, especially one who didn't have a typical offseason filled with minicamps, OTAs, workouts, and face-to-face coaching at the team's facility. Guard Laken Tomlinson is someone who can gauge the rookie's progress. He, after all, had the most experience going against the defender during one-on-ones and team drills. Tomlinson spoke with reporters via Zoom after Monday's practice and was asked about Kinlaw's development as the team prepares to kick off Week 1 on Sunday.

Jimmy Garoppolo calls Brandon Aiyuk his 'comfort blanket,' Kyle Shanahan feels rookie can overcome missed time

Shanahan said on Wednesday that he hopes to get both Aiyuk and second-year wideout Deebo Samuel back next week. The latter suffered a Jones fracture in June but has been seen ramping up his workload during rehab. Aiyuk hasn't

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert is probably looking forward to running to the left side this season. That's where new offensive tackle Trent Williams, a 320-pound behemoth, will line up. Don't let his size fool you. The 49ers' newest big-man is one of the most athletic offensive linemen in the league and can get downfield in a hurry, if needed. That has Mostert excited for the possibilities. "That big guy, he came in here, and he's putting on a show," Mostert told reporters on Monday. "The way he moves and stuff like that, you can't teach that with any other O-lineman. He's definitely a difference-maker and a guy that we can definitely rely on." Williams played three seasons for Kyle Shanahan when the 49ers head coach was the
