The San Francisco 49ers will have the same coaching staff in two consecutive years for the first time since 2013 and 2014. Arik Armstead is very appreciate of that fact. The front office showed their appreciation for Armstead by picking up his fifth year option during the offseason. During OTA availability to the media Armstead discussed his new role, his new weight and how nice it is to feel wanted.
Armstead’s time with the team has not been without challenges. He has been injured the past two seasons but he remarked that part of football is being injured.
