49ers training camp: 5 areas to watch for defending NFC champs

SANTA CLARA – Let’s say the 49ers go on another Super Bowl run, maybe even win a Lombardi Trophy for the first time in 30 years.

Everything about the coming season will be cherished. Legendary chapters will be added to franchise lore. And, after a mostly benign offseason, training camp will be recalled as the starting point on the 49ers’ road to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

The 49ers have the best betting odds of preventing the Kansas City Chiefs from the NFL’s first Super Bowl three-peat.
