49ers rookie cornerback Deommodore Lenoir says former ASU wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was his biggest challenge back in college.
San Francisco 49ers first-year cornerback Deommodore Lenoir is probably happy he won’t have to go up against second-year wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk anymore, at least not in actual game situations.
No, the two former Pac-12 rivals, Lenoir from Oregon and Aiyuk from ASU, are teammates now after the Niners used the No. 172 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft to select the 5-foot-10 Lenoir in Round 5, one of three selections to reinforce the team’s secondary.
