49ers’ trio of rookie defensive linemen prepare for their meet-and-greet (paywall)

“The rookies arrive in town this week for minicamp Friday and Saturday.

“I love teammate camaraderie, so I’m going to just try to gel with them and form a good bond,” West said on his April 26 draft day. “That’s how defensive lines work well together, when they’ve got a good bond and they understand each other and have a feel for each other.”

That was true in Bosa’s rookie season, when he formed an instant connection with a talent-laden line including DeForest Buckner, Arik Armstead and Dee Ford. Kevin Givens was an undrafted rookie on that Super Bowl team, and both he and Bosa remain the only holdovers.”
