A year ago, San Francisco 49ers rookie linebacker Pita Taumoepenu spent much of his rookie season inactive. He appeared in two games, with 28 special teams snaps between the two. It was very much a learning year for Pita T.
Over the offseason, the team had him put on some weight, and he has gained about ten pounds this offseason. Robert Saleh is happy with how he looks, and also that he has not lost his “great get-off” after putting on the weight. He is getting work at both the SAM and LEO positions, which is not a big surprise.
