49ERS RE-SIGN LB NZEOCHA The San Francisco 49ers today announced they have re-signed LB Mark Nzeocha to a one-year deal. Nzeocha (6-3, 240) appeared in 10 games last season and registered four tackles on special teams after the 49ers signed him off of the Dallas Cowboys practice squad on September 25, 2017. Nzeocha was drafted by the Cowboys in the seventh round (236th overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft. Over the past three seasons (2015-17), he appeared in 18 games and registered four tackles. A 28-year-old native of Ansbach, Bavaria in Germany, Nzeocha attended the University of Wyoming. He appeared in 39 games (26 starts) and finished his career with 207 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, seven passes defensed, three forced fumbles, two sacks, one fumble recovery and one interception.

How much of a 'game changer' -- that's the question. John Lynch on Jimmy Garoppolo: I think he wants to be with us and we want him there. I think it makes too much sense for it not to happen. It's just a matter of getting it done. John Lynch spoke about his first Reese's Senior Bowl experience, evaluated the talent in Mobile, Ala. and discussed what the plan is going forward with Jimmy Garoppolo.
