49ers players to watch in 2009

 
Optimism..... a concept that hasn't been in the Bay area for a while. the feeling that this could be the year the 49ers break through back into the stardom of the 80's and early 90's. The reason why we have optimism is because we have a roster full of potential. In this coming year there will be many 49er players to watch but I've managed to wittle it down to my own top five. Included are the players, the reason to watch them, and what you probably can expect from them. Please enjoy (link)
