Prior to his final season with the Arizona Cardinals ending before it ever began with an ACL tear, defensive lineman Darnell Dockett did not get a whole lot of rest with his old team.
In 2013, he played an exhausting 79.9 percent of the Cardinals’ defensive snaps.
Dockett figures to have a completely different role in his first season with the 49ers. The 49ers seem to view him as a pass-rush specialist as part of a five- or six-man rotation on the defensive line.
