Dre Greenlaw is like the rest of us right now. The 49ers linebacker is hunkered down with shelter in place rules as he stays with his family in Houston.
There is one big difference, though. Greenlaw isn't stuck trying to stay in shape with some pushups and running outside. He's in a rare position where he can go to a state-of-the art weight room without breaking any rules.
"My dad, he's a coach at the University of Houston, so we've been able to get in their facility and put in some work," Greenlaw said Tuesday on KNBR's "Papa & Lund" show. "He's been doing a great job with helping me as far as strength. He's a big strength guy, so it's been a huge help from him."

Greenlaw's adoptive father, Brian Early, is the defensive line coach at the University of Houston. He previously held the same position at Arkansas State, where he tried to recruit Greenlaw.

When the boys home Greenlaw lived in as a 14-year-old in Arkansas was closing, the Early family asked him to move in with them just two days before Christmas in 2011.
Early is helping Greenlaw with his conditioning and going through drills, too.

"Just running around, running on the field, staying in shape," Greenlaw added, "and doing drills coach has us doing during the offseason. Just trying to stay active as much as possible and enjoy some of this family time that we got."

Greenlaw, 6-foot-2 and 227 pounds, proved to be a steal in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He played in all 16 games as a rookie and jumped in as a starter when Kwon Alexander went down.
As a rookie, Greenlaw totaled 98 tackles -- three for loss -- and recorded one interception and one sack. The young linebacker saved his best for last, as Greenlaw's game-saving tackle on Seattle Seahawks tight end Jacob Hollister that made the 49ers NFC West champions and gave them the No. 1 seed in the conference.
Greenlaw should have a big role in Year 2, and he isn't wasting any time getting ready.
