Fred Warner is on his way to San Francisco.
The San Francisco 49ers selected the former BYU outside linebacker early in the third round of Friday night's NFL draft, making him the No. 70 player taken overall.
"I am just so happy and proud of my son," said Warner's mother, Laura Warner shortly after her son was selected. "He has worked so hard to make his dream to come true. He is extremely focused and excited to start this new chapter!"
Warner beat most prognostications by going early in the third round.
