Once in a while, opportunity knocks for a man and it knocks hard. The San Francisco 49ers have just handed a huge one to an undrafted free agent guard from UCLA.
On the back of injuries and underwhelming play by offensive guards Mike Person and Joshua Garnett, free-agent rookie Najee Toran has a chance to break through the depth chart and entrench himself as the latest success story for late-round and undrafted rookies in the general manager John Lynch era of drafting.
With the exception of the pass rush, the interior offensive line is the 49ers’ biggest weakness this early in 2018.
