Defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw says ‘the world is going to see’ how much healthier and able he’ll be to impact the 49ers’ defense this season.
Look at what those exercises did for his 6-foot-5 frame that, when healthy, can be among the 49ers’ most imposing on the NFL’s No. 1 defense.
The last game he played told a different story. Kinlaw was pushed around by the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game’s 31-7 disaster. Then he immediately went back to work. “I focused on a lot of mobility, a lot of stability and a lot of body mechanics,” Kinlaw said. “I tried to make myself a better athlete and it’s paying off leverage, getting off the ball, taking a bigger first step, playing way more explosive and violent. If my pad level comes down, nobody can stop me.”
“Mentally, it let me know I have small muscles to use along with the big muscles,” Kinlaw said. “I can tap into a different power source than everybody else. That’s what it’s all about right now.”
