49ers DL Javon Hargrave looks ready for training camp

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

Getting Hargrave back into shape will be key to helping the 49ers pass rush become the tip of its defensive spear again, and all indications from an Instagram Reel posted by Exos Sports point to Hargrave already being called up more than a month before he is not ready to do so. report to the 49ers facility for training camp.

With Arik Armstead now in Jacksonville after his release this offseason, Hargrave will be tasked with shouldering some of the load left 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 inside.
