Stribling positioned for expanded role after Pearsall injury; strong camp performance.
Rookie receiver Stribling is in line for a large role in the 49ers offense following Pearsall's injury, a significant upgrade from a Jauan Jennings-type role. He has impressed in training camp with smooth acceleration/deceleration, size, willingness over the middle, and five catches on Wednesday including a climbing ladder catch over the middle from Adrian Martinez. ESPN's Nick Wagoner projects Stribling handling the 'Y' receiver spot if Pearsall misses time, with Kirk or Demarcus Robinson taking the 'Z'.

Rookie De'Zhaun Stribling was already making a positive first impression, and that continued on Wednesday. He's fast but has a smooth speed that seems to allow him to accelerate and decelerate with little issue. He's also big enough and unafraid to go over the middle. Had him down for five more catches Wednesday, including a nice job climbing the ladder on a high pass over the middle from Adrian Martinez.
