If you were to remove Jason Verrett from the equation right now, the San Francisco 49ers cornerback group would appear to be much better in training camp and entering 2019 than it was a year ago at this time.
No. 1 corner Richard Sherman is much healthier than he was last year, following his 2017 Achilles tear, and third-year cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon‘s efforts have been notably better now than 2018.
Verrett, who tore his Achilles in camp with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2018, recently took the field for the first time with the Niners, showcasing the kind of abilities that helped him earn a Pro Bowl nod back in 2015.
