49ers- Titans - Ambry Thomas starting

He was injured early in the year, but has slowly worked his way into the lineup.  He is now a starter.  Kid definitely has the physical tools to succeed, but coaches won't trust you without the mental tools also.  Good luck Ambry.

Hes been playing a ton recently. I think this is his 3rd start in a row. I watched him against the bengals and he was thrown into the fire against some really good WRs (Chase, Boyd, Higgins). Constantly on an island and as expected he got burnt a couple times.

Would have been nice to put him at nickel as he was our fastest player and a competent coverage man vs OSU in 2018 instead of watching Hill and Campbell fly by Brandon Watson all afternoon.

I’m a Niners fan too, Ambry is starting only because the cornerbacks of the Niners are decimated with injuries.  He is at least another year away from being a capable backup.

Remember when he was still in high school?  Nico came up for a clinic in Ann Arbor and Ambry drove over to AA and signed up - said he wanted to check himself against the best.  What a competitor...

Good God were we excited for that class!
