If the 49ers defensive line was a night club, 90% of the NFL wouldn’t get past the velvet rope. Consider: Robert Nkemdice was the 29th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. While that alone doesn’t automatically make him a good player, it does mean he has physical abilities that 1% of the people on the planet possess at any given time.
