Which 49ers rookies stand out the most during OTAs?

Brown, the Niners' top pick from the 2023 NFL Draft, probably isn't a starter in year one but has the flexibility and potential to challenge virtually every starter within the defensive backfield.

Luter, meanwhile, also has plenty of promise, while fans will want to pay attention to the two rookie tight ends, Cameron Latu and Brayden Willis, to see which one winds up with the best chance to back up the All-Pro, George Kittle.

Same with two first-year linebackers, Dee Winters and Jalen Graham. And EDGE Robert Beal Jr. could look to at least showcase his physical prowess despite not being allowed to make contact with offensive linemen just yet.

Perhaps the best storyline is going to develop from wide receiver Ronnie Bell, who was arguably rookie minicamp's biggest standout.

Whatever the case, rookies are always fun to talk about.
