49ers training camp preview: Safety

Editor’s note: Insider Matt Maiocco will be providing position-by-position breakdowns each day leading up to 49ers training camp, which opens with their first full-squad practice on Aug. 1.

Who they have: Antoine Bethea, Eric Reid, Jimmie Ward, Jaquiski Tartt, L.J. McCray, Craig Dahl, Jermaine Whitehead

Who they lost: Bubba Ventrone

Looking back: The 49ers lost Pro Bowl safety Donte Whitner in free agency but might have actually improved at strong safety with the signing of Bethea. After all, Bethea was voted as the winner of the Bill Walsh Award as the 49ers’ MVP.
