Tyson Jackson’s career might have another chapter after all. The veteran defensive lineman who began his career with the Kansas City Chiefs had been waiting as a free agent for somewhere to call home for the 2017 season. The San Francisco 49ers might just give him that answer.
The 31-year-old lineman comes with Super Bowl experience after last year’s playoff run by Atlanta and could serve as a great mentor for younger players like Solomon Thomas on the 49ers defense. In addition, Jackson has always been a solid run defender even if he ended up more one-dimensional than his initial draft investment indicated.
