SANTA CLARA –
The 49ers new starting strong safety, Donte Whitner, spoke in a group interview this afternoon.
Whitner recorded the fifth most tackles in the NFL last season, and the most amongst defensive backs with 140.
In this interview
Whitner sounds like he's ready to lead this defense. Awesome. The 49ers need a guy in the defensive backfield to say "it's on me". A guy who can complement Willis and Justin Smith. It may be all talk, but it certainly sounds like they have that guy.
