The 49ers’ selection of West Virginia offensive lineman Colton McKivitz could spell the end for veteran swing tackle Shon Coleman.
On the surface, it would appear the San Francisco 49ers are eyeing one of their newest members, former West Virginia offensive tackle Colton McKivitz, as a primary backup player for the interior of their offensive line in 2020. Perhaps beyond.
McKivitz, taken in Round 5 and at No. 153 overall in this year’s NFL Draft, primarily played tackle at the collegiate level, although he moved around the line quite a bit.
