49ers lineman Anthony Davis got guard work on Thursday. Turns out it was his idea.
Thursday’s practice with the Denver Broncos saw the San Francisco 49ers work Anthony Davis briefly at right guard. He worked four snaps with the first team offensive line, before Andrew Tiller moved back into the position. Davis also worked as second team right tackle.
Chip Kelly said on Monday that the plan at that point was for Davis to work exclusively on right tackle in the offense. However, that changed over the past few days. After Thursday’s practice, Anthony Davis told the media that he had brought up the idea with Kelly and OL coach Pat Flaherty.
