The 49ers signed Mychal Kendricks to a one-year deal as they are looking for depth at linebacker and a veteran presence. Before signing Kendricks, Fred Warner was the seasoned veteran among the linebackers, and he’s headed into his fourth season as a pro.
Defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans spoke about Kendricks after Tuesday’s practice:
“Yeah, right now Mych is starting out at the SAM position. So, we start him out there in our base, SAM position. And Mych, he’s familiar with some of the things we do in our scheme. So, it’s not all new to him, maybe new terminology and things like that he just has to translate.
