Key Points:
- 49ers wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling had an impressive preseason performance against the Tennessee Titans, catching seven passes for 63 yards in the first half, a rare feat not seen in the last decade.
- Despite some early mistakes like a missed block and a dropped pass, coach Kyle Shanahan praised Stribling’s physicality, hands, and improvement throughout the game.
- Stribling is expected to have a versatile role, not limited to the slot position, which could increase his value beyond being a second-round pick.
- The 49ers are hopeful Stribling can stay healthy and consistent, as they have faced challenges with early-pick rookies missing significant time recently.
- Shanahan remains optimistic about Stribling’s development and readiness for the regular season if he continues to get reps and maintain his current progress.
