San Francisco 49ers star linebacker
Fred Warner and Sydney Hightower were married on Saturday. The two met after Hightower's stint on the reality TV show,
The Bachelor.
"He actually sent me an emoji [because] he didn't think I was gonna respond and that's why he got really casual, but it was sweet," Hightower told
US Magazine.
Warner is preparing to enter his fifth NFL season. The 49ers made him a third-round draft pick in 2018, and he signed a five-year extension worth up to $95 million before last season.
Warner recorded a career-high and team-leading 137 tackles, seven tackles for a loss, three quarterback hits, four passes defensed, one forced fumble, and 0.5 sacks last season, per Pro Football Reference.

Hard-working 49ers rookie Ji'Ayir Brown continues to impress Fred Warner
No longer limited to a special teams role, Ji'Ayir Brown's workload has increased since stepping into the starting lineup for injured safety Talanoa Hufanga on November 19. Making the most of his playing time against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brown secured an interception and broke up three passes.

Kyle Shanahan shares further thoughts on 49ers-Eagles sideline scuffle
The NFL is reviewing the sideline scuffle between San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw and Philadelphia Eagles' head of security, Dom DiSandro. Both individuals were ejected from Sunday's game. During his post-game press conference at Lincoln Financial Field, head coach Kyle Shanahan criticized DiSandro for putting his hands on one of his players.
"That's why I tried my hardest not to lose my mind," Shanahan told reporters after the game. "Hopefully, I didn't embarrass myself too bad. I didn't get to see it all from where I'm at, but when I start hearing people explain it to me and stuff and I just can't believe someone not involved in a football game can taunt our players
49ers' Kyle Shanahan shares hilarious Chick-fil-A story
Who doesn't relish some mouthwatering Chick-fil-A? Add Kyle Shanahan to the list of fans enjoying those tasty chicken sandwiches. The head coach of the San Francisco 49ers recently shared his fondness for the fast-food franchise during an interview on KNBR.
"One, I don't get it that much," Shanahan said on the "Murph and Mac" show. "When I was in Atlanta, they always had it on our flights on Saturdays, and so I got used to it a couple of years. And I remember, I just blacked out where I was in our first plane [ride] here [with the 49ers]. I'm like, 'Where's the Chick-fil-A?' And no one knew what I was talking about."
The 49ers ensured that Chick-fil-A was readily available for coaches and players moving forward.

Brock Purdy is gearing up to lead his San Francisco 49ers against the Seattle Seahawks for the second time in three games. This time, the Niners will play host, with Sunday's NFC West clash taking place at Levi's Stadium.
Purdy has faced Seattle more than any other opponent in his NFL career, creating a familiarity with the division rival. Despite never losing to the Seahawks, the second-year quarterback emphasizes that he won't take any opponent for granted.
"They got good players, some really good dudes that have a lot of experience and stuff, obviously with [LB] Bobby Wagner and then [DB Quandre] Diggs in the secondary, some boys that are playing corner that have got some experience now under their belts," Purdy told reporters after Thursday's
