The San Francisco 49ers face challenges at the safety position following Talanoa Hufanga's departure to the Denver Broncos and injuries to key players. In response, they signed Richie Grant to a one-year contract. Grant, a former second-round pick from UCF, aims to revitalize his career after a disappointing season where he started only once and recorded 14 total tackles. With a strong work ethic showcased through extra training sessions, he hopes to secure a starting role in the 49ers' defense.
