The San Francisco 49ers have a unique trio of safeties that are expected to anchor the team’s secondary in 2016.
Let’s start with the two veterans of the bunch: Antoine Bethea and Eric Reid. Bethea, an 11-year pro and the 49ers 2014 team MVP, is back to 100 percent after an upper-body injury ended his 2015 campaign after seven games. Reid was a team captain for the first time last season and posted 66 tackles, one sack and one forced fumble.
“They’re pros. They come to work everyday, they put the work into it and they love being here,” defensive backs coach Jeff Hafley said of the duo.
