Forge Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 The 49ers didn’t have any “gold helmet” players this season. That’s the highest designation the 49ers give a prospect and means that he’s exemplary in a number of areas, including performance, leadership and intelligence. In a typical draft, the 49ers might give 15 to 20 prospects a gold helmet designation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like we don't have many limited ceiling guys like a McKivitz. Edited May 5, 2022 by Justone2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like Solomon Thomas was one, I am sure Nick Bosa was one. I seem to recall that that we did get one or two in the later rounds but it would be nice to go back and evaluate players that we drafted that our FO has given this distinction.

Trey Lance and Colton McKivitz I believe were two more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always seemed like camp and reserve bodies you could pick up as UDFAs or on the veteran minimum with absolutely no upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they say that publicly... just say they got ONE gold helmet in this draft, and let everyone guess who it is, and the players drafted themselves think they have been it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
