The San Francisco 49ers are back at practice on Friday for the last practice before a second off day. The 49ers have had their practices open to the public these first two weeks, but Friday’s practice does not have fans in attendance. That has not stopped a new tradition.
Each day when the public has been on hand, a different rookie has been tasked with hyping up the crowd before drills. Mike Person came up with the idea, and Joe Staley tasked Mike McGlinchey to be the first rookie hype man.
