One of the 49ers’ wins this year came in the secondary with the elevated play of second-year CB Deommodore Lenoir.
It looked after Lenoir’s rookie year like the 2021 fifth-round pick from Oregon might struggle to lock down a spot in San Francisco’s secondary. He earned time early in the year after an injury to CB Jason Verrett, but he eventually lost that job to fellow rookie Ambry Thomas. This year he was thrust into action on the outside again after an injury to Emmanuel Moseley, and this time he was equal to the task.
