The Chargers recently worked out Senior Bowl-invitee and ex-Aztec cornerback Kameron
Kelly
http://www.authenticlosangeleschargers.com/cheap-caleb-sturgis-jersey , according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.At 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds,
Kelly possesses the size and length necessary to be a versatile player within
any secondary. The Murphy, Texas native arrived on SDSU’s campus as an “athlete”
and contributed right away during his freshman year. After playing three season
at the “warrior” position, which is another name for safety, Kelly made the
switch to cornerback prior to the 2017 season.In his lone year on the outside,
Kelly turned in a stellar performance that saw him earn first-team All-Mountain
West honors, the Byron H. Chase Memorial Trophy (SDSU’s Defensive Player of the
Year), and an invite to the 2018 Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.At the
NFL combine, however, Kelly was one of the underachievers of the weekend. Here
are his measurements from Indy:4.66-second forty-yard dash9 reps on the bench
press33-inch vertical jump10-foot broad jump6.94 3-cone drill4.28 short
shuttleNot the best numbers for a defensive back. Looks like Kelly will be
lumped into the “better football player than athlete” group heading into the
Draft next week. One thing for certain about Sunday's game between the San
Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals: No team in the NFL will have a worse
record than the team that loses this one.The 49ers and Cardinals stagger into
the game at 1-6. San Francisco has lost five in a row since its lone win of the
season, a victory over Detroit on Sept. 16, back before quarterback Jimmy
Garoppolo went down with a season-ending knee injury.Arizona's lone win came at
San Francisco on Oct. 7.It's been a particularly tumultuous week for the
Cardinals. They fired offensive coordinator Mike McCoy last Friday
Authentic Virgil Green Jersey , replacing him with quarterbacks coach Byron Leftwich. And three-time All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson asked to be traded,
only to back off the request following a meeting with Cardinals President
Michael Bidwill.When times are tough, San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said,
coaches learn a lot about their players."Everyone is motivated when things are
easy," he said. "When things get really tough is when you find out who people
truly are. Sometimes that is a necessity when you are trying to build a team and
build an organization the right way. We went through a lot of it last year, and
I thought we did have some pretty strong guys because we were able to start out
0-9 and finish 6-10."Arizona's first-year coach Steve Wilks made the change at
coordinator with his team ranked last or nearly last in the NFL in virtually
every offensive category. But how much can be done in one week of practice with
a new coordinator?"I think he is trying to ease in," Wilks said. "He's not
trying to, he says, 'go cold turkey on it' and switch everything. I think it's
going to be a slow, gradual process."When Arizona beat the 49ers 28-18, San
Francisco dominated the game statistically but turned over the ball five times
to zero for the Cardinals.Here are some things to consider when the 49ers face
the Cardinals:PROTECT THE BALLNo team has been worse at protecting the ball than
the 49ers and no team has been worse at taking it away. That has added up to the
five straight losses. The Niners rank last in the league with three takeaways —
tied for the fewest after seven games since the 1970 merger — and have committed
the most with 18. San Francisco has committed 14 giveaways since its last
takeaway on Sept. 30 against the Chargers."We can't run away from it," Shanahan
said. "We keep talking about it, keep harping on it. We just go back to work and
keep trying to get better."ROSEN'S COORDINATORLeftwich is the fifth coordinator
that Arizona rookie quarterback Josh Rosen has had in the past five
seasons."It's not fun. If I could prefer it
Youth Caleb Sturgis Jersey , I would have one offense, but that's not really how it all worked out," he said. "So, I'm just going to do the best I can
with what I've got."Rosen is coming off his roughest outing, throwing three
interceptions and fumbling twice in last Thursday night's 45-10 loss to Denver.
He continues to talk positively, though."I think what I have right now is a
really good football team," he said. "We are all underperforming a bit, but like
I said in the past, I am very happy that we're a really good football team
playing not so well, as opposed to hitting our potential as a team take maybe
doesn't have as much potential."WHERE ARE THE WIDEOUTS?The 49ers have struggled
to generate much production from their wide receivers this season, with the
group combining for just 64 catches for 798 yards through seven games. Several
San Francisco receivers have been slowed by injuries, with Marquise Goodwin,
Pierre Garcon
Jahleel Addae Jersey , Trent Taylor and Dante Pettis all dealing with various ailments that have kept them out at times from practice and games."It
definitely makes it a little bit tougher just not having the same guys getting
the same reps every week," quarterback C.J. Beathard said. "It's nice to have a
routine, same guys in there. Obviously, it would help to have everyone healthy
as it would at any position, but that's part of football and you've just got to
go with the guys that you have in there and trust in them."ROOKIE RECEIVERWhile
Arizona's offense has been awful, Christian Kirk is off to a good start to his
NFL career.Kirk, a second-round draft pick out of Texas A&M who grew up in
suburban Phoenix, leads NFL rookie wide receivers with 28 catches. He is on pace
for 64 receptions, which would be second most in Cardinals history: Anquan
Boldin caught 101 passes as an Arizona rookie in 2004.LEFTWICH'S RISELeftwich
has made a rapid rise to coordinator in his coaching career. He was a coaching
intern under Bruce Arians two seasons ago and was promoted to quarterbacks coach
by Arians last season.When Wilks replaced Arians, he kept Leftwich in the QB
coaching job.AP Sports Writer Josh Dubow contributed to this report
