Training camp has been frustrating for 49ers defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw. That’s not because he’s underwhelmed, but due to Kinlaw being slow-rolled back into action. Kinlaw often paces back and forth, waiting to be let off the leash in team drills. When he isn’t clamoring to get back onto the field, he’s coaching up a fellow defensive lineman or dancing to whatever the DJ has on. Kinlaw is engaged at all times.
49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans said there has been an emphasis on Kinlaw’s low pad level:
