Daniel Brunskill’s role with 49ers will be fun to watch in 2020

The San Francisco 49ers heavily scouted the now-defunct Alliance of American Football, and they ended up coming away with two notable players in 2019: defensive lineman Damontre Moore and offensive lineman Daniel Brunskill.

Brunskill, a 2017 undrafted free agent who initially signed with the Atlanta Falcons, found his way to the Niners after his brief AAF stint with the San Diego Fleet. By most accounts, it probably would have been reasonable to assume the 6-foot-5, 300-pound lineman was merely a training camp body. Yet he managed to work his way onto the 53-man roster and then some.
