San Francisco 49ers Arik Armstead Set To Begin Team Workouts on Friday

Arik Armstead was the seventeenth overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft and is anxious to join his new teammates for offseason workouts, but he is not allowed to be there yet. The reason, according to the Oregonian, has to do with an NCAA rule surrounding the Finals Schedule at the University of Oregon.
