From the article

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.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Stribling poised for expanded role if Pearsall misses time; impressing in camp.

Stribling was already turning heads before Pearsall's injury, but now is in line for a large role in the offense as opposed to a reserve role similar to Jauan Jennings in 2023. ESPN's Nick Wagoner notes Stribling is fast with smooth speed allowing easy acceleration/deceleration, big enough to go over the middle unafraid, and had five catches on Wednesday including a nice ladder climb on a high pass over the middle. Wagoner's early guess: if Pearsall misses time, the 49ers would use Kirk or Demarcus Robinson at 'Z' and let Stribling handle the 'Y' position.
