Ji'Ayir Brown must prove himself in 49ers training camp battle
Summary

Ji'Ayir Brown enters training camp facing pressure to maintain his starting safety position with the San Francisco 49ers. Former player Donte Whitner highlighted that Brown has 10 days to demonstrate his growth or risk losing his job to competitors like Ashtyn Davis and Marquise Sigle. Brown, who recorded 76 tackles and two interceptions last season, is seen as part of a secondary that must improve, particularly as he approaches his final year under a rookie contract. Whitner emphasized the need for Brown to show consistency in tackling and communication to solidify his role before the preseason begins.
