Stribling has a chance to put a stranglehold on his role with very little competition. Purdy has been impressed by the early returns on Stribling. Much will be made of his speed and separation skills, which is fair. But he's a bigger body who is unafraid to go over the middle.

Kirk's injury opens third receiver role for Stribling with Purdy's praise.

With Christian Kirk sidelined by injury, Stribling has a golden opportunity to secure the third receiver role with minimal competition. Brock Purdy praised Stribling's early returns in camp, impressed by his speed, separation skills, and bigger body willing to go over the middle—traits that could help open up the offense post-Jauan Jennings. Stribling can move all over the field and flip positions with Ricky Pearsall, positioning him as a potential explosive contributor.
