The San Francisco 49ers are considering Nick Sorensen for the role of special teams coordinator, despite his previous underperformance in that position with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where his unit ranked last in expected points in 2021.
Other interviewed candidates include Jett Modkins, who contributed to the Detroit Lions' top-ranked special teams unit, and Chris Banjo, who helped boost the Denver Broncos to a fourth-place finish.
Chris Tabor, noted for his extensive experience and success at multiple teams, was also a contender.
The decision to potentially appoint Sorensen raises questions, as it bypasses candidates with stronger recent performances and broader experience.
