Episode Details

Upton Stout, the 49ers’ speedy second-year cornerback, is primed for a breakout season—thanks to his underrated pass-rushing ability. Though he struggled in coverage last year, allowing nearly 78% of his targets to result in completions, his quickness to the quarterback is already elite. He ranked eighth in the league in quick pressures despite limited snaps, and the coaching staff plans to unleash him more as a rusher to build confidence that could spill over into his coverage. At just 5’9”, Stout’s impact isn’t about size—it’s about speed, disruption, and the potential to become a two-way threat.
