Put the San Francisco 49ers‘ apparent need for a long-term safety option on hold for a second. They might have found the solution already in second-year pro Tarvarius Moore.
Moore, whom the Niners grabbed in Round 3 of the 2018 NFL Draft, was slated to make the transition from collegiate safety to boundary cornerback, given his natural-looking 6-foot-2 and 200-pound frame. That switch went about as well as one might guess, so-so, with Moore seeing just under 22 percent of defensive snaps the team had last season.
Learning an entirely new position comes with all sorts of difficulties, especially at the pro level.
