Neither Colton McKivitz and Jaylon Moore are Trent Williams but they’re using training camp to improve and doing so with tough lessons from Nick Bosa.
San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Colton McKivitz blocks during an NFL preseason football game against the Green Bay Packers, Friday, Aug. 12, 2022, in Santa Clara, Calif. SANTA CLARA — Nick Bosa went in hot pursuit of Brock Purdy. The goal line was a few yards away, Purdy kept his feet racing, and he threw the ball away once there was no more room to roam.
Meanwhile, Bosa feasted on them — a welcome reminder he’s in camp. Last year, Bosa held out awaiting his own deal, which came just days before the season opener. “I never thought maybe I’d be here Year 5,” McKivitz said. “To be here and in that leadership role, to be vocal, it’s something I’m ready for, to take control of that. With Trent not being here right now, it’s something hopefully me and Jake take control of and tell younger guys how we want room to look like and how the line to play.”
While offensive line coach Chris Foerster commended McKivitz for taking pride in “getting better at everything,” Moore was heralded for his pass-blocking ability while the run game presents a stiffer challenge. Williams may be away but his game film remains a tool that Foerster said he can teach with – “pros and cons” — for backup tackles, including Moore, Brandon Parker and Chris Hubbard.
