VIDEO: Wild Highlight Clip of 49ers Rookie Javon Kinlaw Proves He's Ready to Tear Apart Opposing Linemen
By Jerry Trotta
A lot will be riding on the shoulders of San Francisco 49ers' 2020 first-round pick Javon Kinlaw this upcoming season. After all, the franchise hit a home run by drafting stud pass rusher Nick Bosa at No. 2 overall last year. The Ohio State product logged nine sacks and took home Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. Kinlaw figures to play a significant role up front for the 49ers in Year 1 after former starter DeForest Buckner was traded to the Indianapolis Colts this offseason. Well, this absurd pre-draft workout clip of the former South Carolina star indicates that he'll be ready to rip through opposing offensive lines as a rookie.

My goodness. This clip should terrify offensive coordinators slated to face San Francisco this upcoming season
Kinlaw's strength, though impressive, was expected. The story here is that a man who's 6-5 and weighs 324 pounds should not be that agile. Expect the former Gamecock to use both his power and stunning quickness to make some serious noise for the Niners in 2020.
