Stribling Steps Up for 49ers | NFL News

0:00On September 2nd, rookie-wire receiver Dejon Stribling has been making ways for the San Francisco 49ers during training camp and preseason. He caught 11 passes for over 100 yards in just two games, really showing out and earning a spot on the starting lineup. With the team's receiver depth being tested, he's definitely an early breakout candidate. Now, Schribling is switching his jersey number from 15 to 7. He said he wore 7 back in high school, and it was one of his favorites. He wants to feel comfortable and just do his thing on the field, and he thinks this number change will help with that. The Niners are facing some challenges at wide receiver due to injuries. Christian Kirk and Ricky Parasol are already on the injured reserve list. Mike Evans is still dealing with a hamstring issue, and George Kiddell is just getting back. This means Schribling might have to step up and take on a bigger role in the offense sooner than expectant. He seems ready for the challenge, though. Schribling was a second round pick, and has already impressed the coaching staff and fans with his performance.

1:01The team is counting on him to exceed expectations and contribute significantly to their offense this season. It's going to be interesting to see how Schribling handles the increased pressure and responsibility. His comfort with the number 7 and his preseason performance suggests he's got the right mindset to succeed. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story.
