Dee Ford Sees Similar Traits in Nick Bosa and Javon Kinlaw
The 49ers have a wealth of first-round talent on the defensive line, including 2020 14th-overall pick Javon Kinlaw. Another first round pick, Dee Ford, shared his first impressions of Kinlaw while speaking with the media on Thursday. Despite going through a modified offseason due to COVID-19, Kinlaw has already impressed the veteran. "He wants to be a sponge, he wants to soak everything up and he wants to learn," Ford said. "He reminds me of Nick Bosa when he came in. He didn't say too much. When you're a first-round draft pick you can come in and… be a little entitled. That's not him. That's not in his DNA.
"(Javon's) everything that you want to see in a rookie."

Quote Worthy
"You can tell this is a hungry group of guys and I feel like I fit right in. As soon as you walk into the building, the vibe is different. I think the first time with us all being together, I could just feel the vibe then. This environment here that Kyle (Shanahan) and John (Lynch) have created – they've done an outstanding job. They've got a bunch of like-minded fellas in the locker room. I think everybody feeds off each other and everybody encourages each other. It's just one of those things that you've got to experience to believe." - Trent Williams
