Former Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa was once outspoken on Twitter. Now he’s less so.Bosa Joshua Garnett Jersey , who has praised President Trump and called Colin Kaepernick a “clown” in tweets that he later deleted, told Kevin Van Valkenburg of ESPN.com that he decided giving up his political tweeting was only practical because he might get drafted by the 49ers, who represent one of the most liberal cities in America.“I had to,” Bosa said. “There is a chance I might end up in San Francisco.”Bosa, of course, didn’t “have to” do anything. For an example of a player who chose to prioritize his freedom of expression over his NFL career Womens Dante Pettis Jersey , he need only look to Kaepernick, the so-called “clown” who isn’t in the NFL anymore because he kneeled during the national anthem. And Bosa certainly wouldn’t have suffered the same fate as Kaepernick — he’d get drafted no matter how much he tweeted about politics, although some teams might be weary of a player who would be polarizing with the fan base.Not wanting to risk a backlash, Bosa is now keeping his political opinions to himself. The 49ers are reportedly set to open the 2019 season in Tampa on September 8 and the expectation is that Jimmy Garoppolo will be their starting quarterback for the first time since tearing his left ACL last September.Word late last month was that the team expects Garoppolo to be full-go when training camp opens this summer and Garoppolo indicated that’s his goal as well when he spoke to reporters on Wednesday. Garoppolo, who plans to be wearing a brace on his left knee for that game, also said that he can feel himself incrementally getting back to full speed as the season gets closer.“It’s very good to be throwing again http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-frank-gore-jersey ,” Garoppolo said, via NBCSportsBayArea.com. “It’s what I do. It’s encouraging. Every day gets easier and easier, able to make this throw better than I was a week ago. It’s small victories like that. Throughout this whole process, it’s all about small victories.”The 49ers hope that Garoppolo’s offseason of small victories add up to bigger ones this fall.
