Let’s just say things haven’t gone so well for San Francisco 49ers offensive guard Joshua Garnett after being selected in the tail end of Round 1 in the 2016 NFL Draft.
His rookie year wasn’t particularly impressive. In fairness to Garnett, few on that 2-14 team’s roster were impressive, so one might be inclined to give the former Stanford standout a bit of a pass.
When head coach Kyle Shanahan took over in 2017, however, Garnett’s future with the squad took a massive hit after he suffered a knee injury that sent him to injured reserve, forcing him to miss the entire year.
