DeMeco Ryans might be in San Francisco, but he still has some influence in Philadelphia.
Ryans finished his playing career as a linebacker for Philadelphia, earning the nickname "Mufasa" for the leadership skills that he taught the handful of teammates still on the Eagles that have been carried forward to today.
Graham said Ryans had a knack for knowing what play was coming next from the opposing offense and was able to communicate that to his teammates. He said he can see that same ability when watching the 49ers' defense, which always seems to be a step ahead of the opposition thanks to Ryans' acumen and film study.
The Niners have had one of the top defenses in the league under Ryans' watch, allowing the fewest points and yards in the NFL this season.
