SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers signed cornerback Deommodore Lenoir to a five-year, $92 million contract extension this week. Here's what head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday about Lenoir courtesy of the 49ers.SHANAHAN: “Oh, pumped. Something we tried to do in the offseason, didn't get it done. They started working on it here a few weeks ago, and for them to finish it up yesterday, so pumped. Can't say enough about Dmo. He’s exactly what we want as a Niner.
SHANAHAN: “Yeah, just, that first year he got thrown in early and had a tough mistake on one of the last plays of the game versus Green Bay, giving up a big last play that they could kick a field goal. I remember after that, I was talking to him about it this morning, lost his confidence a little bit after that. Just was down making a big mistake and really never got it back that year. But it was that OTAs, he was a different guy right away.
SHANAHAN: “He's got the mindset to do all that. He’s got a mindset very similar to Jimmie Ward’s. Just how he plays, how much he loves the physicality, how much he can cover. But he wants to play like a linebacker and really be a part of all that stuff. And he stuck out our first day of rookie camps when he got me fined, like a lot. Because he jammed people too hard and then put it on the internet. That was the first time I ever got mad at him, but I was really excited about it.
