Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that it would be difficult to take away the starting right guard spot from Puni as the regular season approaches, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Puni was selected by San Francisco in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The rookie out of Kansas is currently slated as the No. 3 right guard on the 49ers' unofficial depth chart behind Spencer Burford and Jon Feliciano. However, with the endorsement of Shanahan, it appears the starting job is Puni's to lose.

The 49ers selected Puni in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 86th overall. Puni (6-foot-5, 313 pounds) played left tackle for Kansas in 2023, but he'll likely be a guard at the NFL level due to short arms (33 and 3/8 inches). Puni was an effective college blocker and boasts standout athleticism (30-inch vertical, 107-inch broad jump), so there's little to dislike in his prospect profile despite his modest pedigree.
