One of the first moves made by San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch this offseason was to bring in free-agent nose tackle Earl Mitchell.
The Niners handed Mitchell a four-year deal back on February 25.
Mitchell, 29 years old, started off his NFL career in 2010 as a third-round draft pick of the Houston Texans. He signed with the Miami Dolphins in 2014 and had a relatively productive career until last year, where a calf injury limited him to just nine games:
