ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Prior to being hired as the San Francisco 49ers' general manager in 2017, John Lynch was a Hall of Fame safety for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Denver Broncos from 1993-2007. So he knows what he's looking for at the position.
That's why he drafted Talanoa Hufanga in the fifth round of the 2021 draft. According to Lynch, "the fun starts when the play starts" with Hufanga.
Hufanga signed a three-year, $39 million contract with the Denver Broncos -- which includes another potential $6 million in performance bonuses -- almost as soon as free agency opened in March.
