From the article

My answer: Jacob Cowing... I'll go with the player who I think can carry over a strong training camp into the regular season... Cowing will be lined up in the slot and off the ball in advantageous matchups against a secondary that does not run well... Cowing will likely run deep crossing routes or routes with vertical stems... That'll lead to big plays, splash plays, and "oohs and ahhs" from the crowd.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Cowing's speed and vertical role position him as the 49ers' biggest training camp standout.

Cowing is the predicted biggest 49ers training camp standout with potential to carry success into the regular season. He adds a speed dimension the 49ers lacked in 2024; while Ricky Pearsall tested well, Cowing plays faster to the eye test. Positioned in the slot and off-ball in advantageous matchups against a secondary that doesn't run well, Cowing will run deep crossing routes and vertical-stem routes, generating splash plays and big gains. His returner role (punts and kicks) provides additional opportunities to showcase speed and impact to coaching staff.
