Very Bad News: San Francisco 49ers Head Coach Angry and Announced resignation immediately today….
San Francisco 49ers punter Mitch Wishnowsky was on hand for the Giants opening day festivities at Oracle Park.
Special guests typically throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Major League Baseball game, but Mishnowsky opted to do something he routinely does during NFL games, punt a football.
Mishnowsky then knocked the ceremonial “first punt” over the ballpark’s outfield wall and into McCovey Cove.
A kayaker quickly retrieved the football after it splashed into the popular section of San Francisco Bay.
Wishnowsky’s teammates, All-Pro receiver Deebo Samuel and linebacker Fred Warner, also participated in the pregame ceremonies. Samuel and Warner simultaneously threw the traditional ceremonial first pitches to home plate.
The most recent mock by Mel Kiper Jr. likely will have raised some eyebrows among fans of the San Francisco 49ers, who might not have been overly familiar with the name he picked for them with the 31st overall selection.
There’s no doubt that at that point in the draft, Washington tackle Roger Rosengarten would be a significant reach, but there’s reason to believe he could well become a 49er this month.
He complements his footwork with impressive hand usage, combining a heavy punch with strong good hand placement and, while he will give ground to bull rushes, Rosengarten plays with a wide base that aids him in being able to drop the anchor.
Able to recover when pass rushers put him in the race working around the edge, Rosengarten did not give up a sack in 414 pass block snaps last season and ranked tied ninth among tackles in this draft class in Pro Football Focus’ pass block efficiency metric after conceding only 15 pressures.
