Last season, Juwan Foggie, a wide receiver, watched from the sidelines as his teammates played defense. This year, Foggie plays with those same teammates, leading the team in many statistical categories as an outside linebacker.
From his high school days through his sophmore season with the 49ers, Foggie has always run routes as a wide receiver. The only experience the High Point, North Carolina native had on defense was in high school, playing defensive end his freshman year and safety during his senior season.
His freshman season with the Niners, Foggie saw action in all 11 games.
