Renardo Green transitioned from a reserved rookie to the projected starting right cornerback in Year 2, emphasizing attention to small details and faster processing. A hamstring strain early in training camp sidelined him until Aug. 6, but he remained mentally focused and picked up lessons. Green has increased on-field communication, telling players and coaches what he sees and attempting to set a standard. The 49ers will reduce their roster to 53 players and form a 16-man practice squad before the Sept. 7 opener in Seattle. The team retained Deommodore Lenoir long-term and planned for Green to replace Charvarius Ward, who signed elsewhere.
In Year 2 and carved in stone as the starting right cornerback, health permitting, Green is passing along hard lessons learned in 2024. Football is always going to be football, but it's about the little details, Green said Monday following a brief, one-hour 49ers practice. When I first came here there were certain things I didn't see or hadn't learned. Now with that time and experience under my belt it's got me feeling way more comfortable.
A second-round draft pick out of Florida State, No. 64 overall, Green stayed focused mentally when a hamstring strain on the third day of practice kept him out until Aug. 6 and even had some pointers for rookies or new players at the urging of defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks. Green said he's talking more, telling players and coaches what he sees and trying to set a standard.
