According to a source close to the situation, it appears that San Francisco 49ers second-year OLB Aaron Lynch will start Week 1 despite being overweight.
A player who showed plenty of promise as the team’s best pass-rusher (according to Pro Football Focus), will now have the opportunity to tackle on full-time starter responsibilities.
Lynch has been working extremely hard with 49ers strength and conditioning coach Mark Uyeyama aka ‘Uye’ as he tries to get back into football shape and had nothing but great things to say about his coach as he believes that he’s the best in the business.
