Summary

With training camp less than three weeks away, Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan spotlight several players who are facing a make-or-break season with the 49ers in 2023. All eyes will be on wide receiver Deebo Samuel trying to return to 2021 form. Javon Kinlaw, Drake Jackson and Clelin Ferrell all have something to prove along the defensive line. Plus, no 49ers Talk podcast would be complete without some quarterback talk! Matt and Jennifer weigh in on the battle for No. 2 behind Brock Purdy between Trey Lance and Sam Darnold. With so many unanswered questions, what does Lance's future look like in San Francisco?

(25:30) Ambry Thomas needs to prove he deserves to be the No. 3 CB on the roster (28:40) Danny Gray starting to put things together in Year 3? (32:20) Still so many questions about Trey Lance's future with 49ers (34:55) Sam Darnold out to prove he can thrive in successful 49ers offense (41:48) Expectations for Elijah Mitchell and Tyrion Davis-Price running behind Christian McCaffrey (46:25) With major potential cap-savings implications, will Arik Armstead be around beyond this season?
