The best player on the field today. He made several elite plays.
First, he intercepted a short pass that was intended for Deebo Samuel during a 1-on-1 drill.
Samuel ran a slant route and Lenoir closed immediately on the pass and batted it away.
Next, Lenoir beat Samuel 1 on 1 when Samuel ran a curl route and the pass fell incomplete.
Then during 11-on-11 team drills, Lenoir nearly intercepted a deep pass from Brock Purdy that was intended for Kyle Juszczyk running a wheel route.
Finally, Lenoir intercepted Purdy on a deep pass intended for Deebo Samuel and returned the ball for a touchdown.
After practice, Lenoir said he’s going to have so many pick 6s this year that the coaching staff is going to make him the kick returner. I love the confidence.
Clearly the 49ers’ best wide receiver during 1 on 1s today.
First, he beat Isaac Yiadom with an out route, then he beat him again with a post-corner that spun around Yiadom and made the crowd gasp.
Deebo Samuel couldn’t run that route if his career depended on it.
The best rookie wide receiver on the field today. First he blew by Ambry Thomas to catch a deep touchdown pass during 1 on 1s. Then Owens dusted Rock Ya-Sin to catch a deep touchdown pass from Brandon Allen during 11 on 11s.
Owens is a legitimate deep threat who’s not afraid to go over the middle, similar to his dad.
He absolutely will make the practice squad and just might get called up to the active roster one day.
