The 49ers brought in veteran Logan Thomas to heat up the competition at tight end in training camp. That means Brayden Willis is really going to have to earn it if he wants to be the No. 2 tight end.
They failed to do so on their first couple of attempts by trying to sign restricted free agent Brock Wright and then trying to draft one they like. The 49ers ended up settling for veteran Logan Thomas who is coming from the Washington Commanders.
So, Thomas was brought in to push the guys at the position, which is surely pointed at Brayden Willis and Cameron Latu the most. But really, Willis is the one who has the best shot. He actually got to participate for a portion of the year unlike Latu who has been injured. Thomas is the player he will need to outperform if he wants to be on the offensive side of the field.I give him a slight chance. To put a percentage on it, I'd go with 10 percent.
Willis, on the other hand, is a player the 49ers are still figuring out and will need to trust. That isn't really what Shanahan does when it comes to young players. So unless Willis comes out strong in training camp and the preseason, because he definitely needs both to impress, then he is going to be stuck backing up Thomas.0 Minutes AgoJose Luis Sanchez III has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily for FanNation since 2019.
