WATCH: 49ers DL Javon Hargrave looks ready for training camp

This video of Javon Hargrave working out is absurd.

Javon Hargrave, the 49ers’ big offseason splash from a season ago, had a somewhat disappointing first season in San Francisco. Their pass rush lacked some and his overall production from his stellar 2022 campaign dipped.

Getting Hargrave back to form will be key in helping the 49ers’ pass rush become the tip of its defensive spear again, and all indications from an Instagram Reel posted by Exos Sports are that Hargrave is already dialed in more than a month before he’s set to report to the 49ers’ facility for training camp.

With Arik Armstead now in Jacksonville following his release this offseason, Hargrave will be tasked with shouldering some of the load left behind by Armstead. He’ll have help with newcomers like Maliek Collins and Jordan Elliott, but the best version of San Francisco’s defense is one where Hargrave looks like an All-Pro on the interior.

WATCH: 1st look at 49ers 1st-round pick WR Ricky Pearsall in action

Here’s a look at 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall on the field for the first time:

It’s important not to overreact to rookie minicamp where getting players’ feet wet with their new teammates and coaches is a more primary goal that determining roster decisions. However, getting a first look at the rookies is always a fun element to the session.

Among the players at rookie minicamp is first-round pick Ricky Pearsall, who has yet to sign his rookie contract. Our friends at 95.7 the Game in San Francisco posted a video on Twitter of Pearsall in his practice jersey and helmet — offering a first look at the first-round pick in a 49ers uniform.

It appears Pearsall is fielding a punt in the video:

Returning punts wasn’t a primary job for Pearsall in college. He had just 15 punt returns, all coming in his two years at Florida in 2022 and 2023. With the position open on the 49ers’ roster they may look for their first-rounder to contribute in that area in Year 1.
