Armstead will see time at defensive tackle in sub packages, but he’ll spend plenty of snaps on the edge as well. He led the team with 10.0 sacks last season and continued his dominance as a run defender on the outside. San Francisco inked Armstead to a five-year, $85 million deal this offseason in hopes he’ll continue being one of their top producers on the defensive front.
