Purdy raving about Stribling's routes and separation; Kirk's calf injury opens depth chart opportunity.

Stribling was drafted 33rd overall in the second round by the 49ers over other receiver prospects, and the team and QB Brock Purdy are talking him up in training camp. Purdy called him a baller, noting he's running great routes, learning the playbook quickly, showing strength, and creating separation. Despite being behind Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, and Christian Kirk on the depth chart, Stribling has a prime opportunity to earn playing time with Kirk dealing with a calf injury and only signed to a one-year deal.
