"Somebody call the police because that was AGGRAVATED ASSAULT," wrote Sanders, now the head coach of Jackson State, in response to a video posted from the 49ers' rookie minicamp practice yesterday (h/t to Alex Didion of NBC Sports). It shows Lenoir going against wide receiver Austin Watkins Jr. and intercepting fellow rookie Trey Lance.
Lenoir responded with the following.
San Francisco made Lenoir the No. 172 overall pick. The cornerback registered 35 tackles, an interception, and a forced fumble through six games as a senior in 2020, per Sports Reference.
"I just take the game as it is, a kill or be killed," Lenoir told reporters after being drafted. "Whenever you step on that field, you are either going to be a hyena, or you are going to be the prey. So in other words, I'm the hyena."
Lenoir recorded 158 tackles, four tackles for a loss, 21 passes defensed, six interceptions, and two forced fumbles through his four collegiate seasons.
