Which rookie will stand out against the 49ers?

The answer is pretty clear as to which rookie will stand out against the 49ers. Let’s take a look at who and why.

Answer: Devin White

Why:

There are two reasons why rookie Devin White will be the standout player of Sunday’s game. First is White’s ability to lead this lead and second, the player he has to be on the field.

Devin White “The Leader”

White will, unfortunately, have to be the face of this defense whether he likes it or not because fans have already been comparing him to Buccaneers Legend and Hall of fame Derrick Brooks. White has already shown signs of being a vocal leader on the field, but can he do it off the field as well. The biggest question that fans and fellow teammates will ask is, will White hold his teammates accountable in games.

Devin White “The Player”

Being an inside linebacker means you are the quarterback of the defense. White has to know where and when a defensive lineman is supposed to line up as well as when they are supposed to stunt and loop. Playing that position takes lots of film study and recognizing hand gestures the offense uses when they call audibles. White will have to watch tape on Jimmy Garoppolo and notice what he does or doesn’t like to do when he sees or senses a blitz coming while also noticing what his hot routes and reads are.

The Test

White will be tested this game. I have no doubt that White will make a mistake early and bounce back with making two big plays to make up for it.

Stat Prediction- 12 total Tackles, 4 tackles for loss, and a sack
