After Jake Moody knocked down a record-breaking 55-yard field goal early in the game, another rookie from the San Francisco 49ers’ 2023 draft class made an impact play in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.
With the Chiefs facing a third down, Patrick Mahomes scrambled before floating a pass to Travis Kelce that landed in the hands of 49ers safety Ji’Ayir Brown for an interception.

Ji'Ayir Brown with the INT. Fred Warner had Travis Kelce blanketed on the play. SF using an array of defenders, techniques on Kelce, who still has one catch for one yard.

The top pick of the 49ers' 2023 draft, Ji'Ayir Brown, intercepts Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl.
No draft-eligible college player in 2023 had more INTs than Brown over 2021-22. The 49ers had a very good idea they were getting a ballhawk
