Tank Carradine: Why 49ers OLB Will Soon See His Role Increased

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Tank Carradine is in for a huge 2016.

In Round 2 of the 2013 NFL Draft, 49ers general manager Trent Baalke took Carradine despite his ACL injury from the previous season. As a result of the injury, Carradine missed the entire 2013 NFL season.

When he came back for 2014, Carradine was on the bench for half the season for failing to pick up then defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s playbook, according to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee.

Carradine seemed to be playing out of position.
