How 49ers DB Deommodore Lenoir went from Kyle Shanahan’s doghouse to a top nickel corner

The San Francisco 49ers are set to face off against the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch of their Super Bowl four years ago this weekend, looking to avenge their loss and earn the franchise’s first ring since 1994.

While much of the team looks different than the 2019 team that turned things around to make a Super Bowl appearance, several key pieces remain across the board, including wideout Deebo Samuel, tight end George Kittle, defensive end Nick Bosa, defensive tackle Arik Armstead, and linebackers Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw.

One room that has fully revamped, however, is the secondary, as all five of San Francisco’s starters have changed from four years ago, when Richard Sherman, K’Waun Williams, Emmanuel Moseley, Jimmie Ward, and Jaquiski Tartt led the way.
