Yahoo Sports NFL on De'Zhaun Stribling

Stribling's ball-tracking speed separates him from typical rookie receivers.

49ers rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling is developing a key skill that separates him from typical rookie receivers: maintaining speed while tracking the ball in the air. Backup quarterback Mac Jones praised this ability. Stribling attributes the skill to repetitions and confidence, saying "It's just been repping it, working on it, being confident, knowing that I can still run full speed and also track the ball in the air." The source notes this is something rookie wide receivers don't always demonstrate, positioning Stribling as ahead of the curve in his development.
