Earlier this week, the 49ers made Deommodore Lenoir one of the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. In Lenoir's four seasons, he never has been to a Pro Bowl. And yet, he's a cornerstone of the 49ers present and future.
SANTA CLARA -- Earlier this week, the 49ers made Deommodore Lenoir one of the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL.
On Thursday, defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen was asked what makes Lenoir so valuable. Here's what Sorensen said courtesy of the 49ers p.r. department. SORENSEN: “Really excited for him, well deserved. He's done everything right. He's been so productive inside and outside. He’s just been a stud. He’s increased his play every year and just really happy we got it done for us and for him, really. To know that we'll have him for so many more years is really exciting. It was really exciting yesterday, talking to him and I was just fired up.
SORENSEN: “Just his play style and his versatility. He's selfless. He's a pure football player. And to see that, there are some people that, the old thoughts that can be put out there that guys that play nickel also, won't get paid. It's harder. I think it’s really hard to be able to do both. We've been saying that consistently over and over and I feel like there's more value than people realize. I think people who know football know that that's hard to do.
