With the 2015 regular season just around the corner, it’s time to stop thinking about who’s no longer here, and shift our focus to what players will help the San Francisco 49ers surprise some people under new head coach Jim Tomsula.
When one door closes, another opens, and it looks like a certain outside linebacker in particular is about to get a huge opportunity. According to Ryan Sakamoto, OLB Aaron Lynch is on track to start Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings, an honor that is well deserved.
Lynch was expected to play a big role this season anyway, but he’s now been thrust into the limelight after the team cut ties with OLB Aldon Smith.
