Students at a high school near Green Bay were surprised to learn that the 49ers would be practicing there ahead of Saturday's divisional-round playoff game at Lambeau Field against the Packers.
“I looked out the window, and I was kind of trying to see what's happening," Bay Port High School junior Max Madden told NBC26's Jenna Bree. "And you see all the players out there, getting ready, stretching in their sweatpants and sweatshirts. And it was just a sight to see. Nobody wanted to leave the windows to make room.
“They looked good, they looked big," said Madden. "I mean, they're NFL players. You see Kittle and Bosa, and they're big men, and they're scary, and I'm scared of them.”
