49ers: Who is Aaron Lynch?

Aaron Lynch was a classic Trent Baalke pick in the 2014 NFL Draft — a troubled kid with tons of talent. After struggling at Notre Dame, Lynch found himself playing for the University of South Florida (USF).

When the San Francisco 49ers took a chance on Lynch with the tenth pick in the fifth round, Lynch’s former strength coach at USF, Hans Straub took a shot at him with a vicious tweet criticizing Lynch’s character.

Said Straub, via SportingNews.com:

Thought an organization with 5 Super Bowl titles would have a stricter draft criteria.
