Special Teams

Phil Dawson (kicker)
Bradley Pinion (punter)
Kyle Nelson (long snapper)

Hey! Kickers are people too!

Dawson and Pinion will return to keep their spots with no competition here. They are not going anywhere.

Nelson also keeps his spot as long-snapper.

Wide receiver Bruce Ellington is the best returner on the 49ers. He will be their return specialist.
