Klay Kubiak assesses the San Francisco 49ers left guard competition
Summary

San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak is weighing options for the team’s left guard position as the regular season approaches. While the staff is evaluating Carver Willis, Connor Colby, and Jarrett Patterson, no starter has been named. Kubiak indicated that the team may rotate players depending on game conditions rather than relying on a single starter. The offensive coaching staff intends to evaluate performance throughout training camp and early game play to determine the best fit for the line. Inexperienced players at the position face the challenge of holding up against defensive pressure. The 49ers will maintain multiple players on the active roster who are capable of filling the role as they monitor the situation in real time.
