Webster has made amazing strides since joining the team as a rookie. He was thrown into the fire a few games into his rookie season, and had to learn quickly. The mature player, did exactly that, quickly giving the 49ers a solid corner opposite first round draft pick Ahmed Plummer.

It hasn’t been enough to stop the Rams though, and that being the 49ers off-season priority this year, forced the team to draft another starting caliber cornerback, Mike Rumph. Rumph a first round pick will enter the depth charts as the team’s third cornerback. He’s the bigger than both Webster and Plummer, and has the potential to be a starter in this league. In the new NFL, it’s important to have three starting caliber cornerbacks.

Rumph is expected to challenge Webster for the starting position, and regardless of who wins, the team will likely use Webster in the slot when offenses go to a three receiver formation, in order to get the best possible match-ups of speed and size. But Webster is not content with sitting back and losing his roster spot. He’s made a point this off-season to become a much better player.
