So, in all likely hood, the San Francisco 49ers will not be a very good, team record-wise, in 2016.
Man, that was a hard sentence to write.
But it’s true. The 49ers are one year into a full rebuilding project. This all comes after firing former head coach Jim Harbaugh, losing key players to retirement, hiring former head coach Jim Tomsula to replace Harbaugh and, finally, replacing Harbaugh and players with new head coach Chip Kelly and draft picks like DeForest Buckner and Joshua Garnett.
With this knowledge, we can begin to picture why training camp would be so important for this particular team.
