The San Francisco 49ers made a pretty big change at center this offseason, trading away longtime Niner Daniel Kilgore after inking veteran center Weston Richburg in free agency.
Depth is still a concern, though, and general manager John Lynch targeted former Washington center/offensive lineman Coleman Shelton after the team’s efforts in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Shelton moved around Washington’s O-line a lot his first three years, finally settling in at center. The 6-foot-4, 299 pounder’s versatility should do him some good this training camp. Depth players and guys on the roster bubble need to have positional flexibility to increase their chances.
