Nick Sorensen spoke to reporters at Friday’s rookie minicamp for the first time since his promotion as 49ers defensive coordinator.
San Francisco 49ers nickels coach Nick Sorensen heads to the field before an NFL football game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Sunday, Nov. 12, 2023, in Jacksonville, Fla. SANTA CLARA – Nick Sorensen played 10 years in the NFL, primarily as a ball-hawking demon on special teams. It’s not surprising what ideal traits the 49ers might reflect upon this year’s elevation to defensive coordinator.
Sorensen was promoted two months ago to replace the one-and-done Steve Wilks. After two years as a defensive assistant on coach Kyle Shanahan’s staff, Sorensen will be calling plays from the 49ers’ sideline, which is where Wilks was summoned from the upstairs booth last midseason. Nick Bosa remains the 49ers’ best asset, as recognized by Sorensen, who has mostly worked with linebackers and defensive backs . “Our relationship is great. He’s one of the best in the league. He was NFL Defensive Player of the Year for a reason,” Sorensen added. “A lot of what gets overlooked is how he plays in the run game. He’s real physical. He’s not just a guy that can get to the quarterback and affect it, which he does at an elite level, also.”The 49ers’ run defense may have ranked No.
Sorensen said Staley has been “more connected” with the defensive backs, which was Sorensen’s role last season as pass-game specialist and nickel back coach.Second-round pick Renardo Green will initially train at nickel back. It’s a spot the 49ers already know Deommodore Lenoir can flourish in if they need to slide him inside from right cornerback. Sam Womack and Kemon Hall also drew kudos for their work the past month.
