49ers’ 2019 ‘Who Is?’ series: Linebacker Dre Greenlaw

The San Francisco 49ers‘ failed attempt to get the most out of their 2017 first-round NFL Draft pick, Reuben Foster, prompted general manager to execute one of two key moves during the 2019 offseason.

The first was to ink free-agent linebacker Kwon Alexander to a contract, which was then followed up by the fifth-round selection of Arkansas’ Dre Greenlaw in this year’s draft.

Greenlaw has his own unique collegiate story, one which came about just after the Niners took him, regarding how he essentially saved one of his classmates from what would have likely been a sexual assault.
