Quinton Dial Stepping into Leadership Role after Offseason Contract Extension

Coffee? Yes.

Doughnuts? No.

Trail mix, healthy snacks and even some beef jerky? Yes.

DeForest Buckner, like all San Francisco 49ers rookies, will be responsible for supplying meeting-room snacks for his veteran teammates. It's a rite of passage in the NFL. The afformentioned orders will be the requests of fourth-year defensive lineman Quinton Dial.

“When training camp comes, he’ll be on them duties,” Dial said while grinning on the most recent 49ers Radio podcast.

The lineman knows the routine. Dial did the same thing for the likes of Justin Smith when he joined the 49ers in 2013 as a fifth-round pick.
