ESPN is running their latest “Hey Rookie, Welcome to the NFL series,” and one of the featured players appears to be new San Francisco 49ers defensive end Solomon Thomas.
NFL Films tweeted out some video Tuesday evening showing Thomas on draft day in the green room in Philadelphia. It opens with the phone ringing as Solomon Thomas gets the call from John Lynch that he is the pick at No. 2. We see Thomas’ family overcome with excitement as Thomas speaks with Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan.
