49ers coach Kyle Shanahan bestowed a ton of praise onto Deommodore Lenoir including drawing a comparison to this former longtime starter.
It is extremely rare for the 49ers to extend a player during the season. Doing it with Lenoir was a no-brainer. He's gotten better and better every season since being drafted. On Wednesday, head coach Kyle Shanahan couldn't bestow enough praise onto Lenoir for earning his new deal.
During Super Bowl week, I wanted to highlight the astounding job Deommodore Lenoir did transitioning from outside to inside. It’s the main reason he’s earned his contract extension.It is why I highlighted that aspect during Super Bowl week in Feb. with Lenoir and defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks. Lenoir's successful transition and becoming as good as he is now should be recognized more than it has.
"That was the first time I ever got mad at him, but I was really excited about it. Despite what it took away, my kids' college tuition. But it showed we had the right type of dude and he's always been like that. The fact that he can play nickel inside and play the way he does and play and cover guys outside, are the types of guys you want in the secondary and a special type of corner.
