San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Kerry Hyder got to Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray in the second quarter of Saturday's game, which gives him 8.5 total sacks on the season — a new career-high.
The mark surpasses the eight sacks he racked up in 2016 with the Detroit Lions when he played on a defensive line coached by Kris Kocurek, who is now his defensive line coach with the 49ers.
"The only goal I had was to kind of garner some respect amongst the league," Hyder recently said when asked about his goals entering the season. "I never had a number goal or anything like that. So, I think I'm able to start and play games. I think I'm able to do that, so that's probably the only goal I had."
Hyder has started 12 of his 14 game appearances with the 49ers this season and entered Saturday's game with 46 tackles, nine tackles for a loss, and 17 quarterbacks hits.
San Francisco signed Hyder to a one-year deal on March 25.

PFF high on this cornerback for 49ers in mock draft
Analyst Dane Brugler of The Athletic grades former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa as a second or third-round draft pick and ranks him 55th overall on his big board. Pro Football Focus, however, holds a higher opinion of the young defensive back. In his latest mock draft, the site's lead analyst, Sam Monson, has the San Francisco 49ers selecting Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
