Seems like NaVorro Bowman started right where he left off. Destroying plays and making tackles. Sure it's just the preseason, but he looked explosive, which is a welcome sign for the Niners. He becomes the unquestioned leader of the defense with the offseason retirements of Patrick Willis and Justin Smith. The defense played very well as a unit Sunday and the defensive line again proved that they are by far the best position group on the team. Mike Purcell shined once more. This time, he had a pick-6. Big fella could run.
No other player made a bigger splash this offseason than Jarryd Hayne.
