Senior Bowl gives 49ers coaches, scouts a chance to spend a week with draft prospects

Kyle Shanahan’s season isn’t quite through. The San Francisco 49ers head coach next heads to Mobile, Alabama in three weeks to coach the 2019 Senior Bowl. The game gets going on January 26th, and the week leading up to it provides a great opportunity to see how the prospects respond to not just coaching, but Kyle Shanahan’s coaching and philosophy. Chemistry is the big thing here and it will give the entire coaching staff a chance to see if they mesh well with a particular player.

Shanahan and general manager John Lynch talked earlier this week about the value of the Senior Bowl.
