Defensive back Darrell Luter Jr.'s pro career didn't exactly start off the right way.
After being selected by the San Francisco 49ers in Round 5 at No. 155 overall out of South Alabama in the 2023 NFL Draft, Luter subsequently found himself suffering a pre-training camp injury that landed him on the reserve list and cut into his rookie campaign; not being added to the regular-season squad until November that year.
Yet the Niners had high hopes for the 6-foot, 190-pound defender despite displaying what was then a deep crop of cornerbacks.
Unfortunately, Luter's name became synonymous with gaffes, thanks to a rather untimely error in Super Bowl LVIII when a Kansas City Chiefs punt graced the defensive back's foot, leading to a costly turnover on special teams and might have been a crucial deciding factor in K.
