Rookies do work

The 49ers’ 2019 rookie class was massive in the biggest moment of the year. Second-round pick Deebo Samuel was the team’s leading receiver with 102 yards on five catches. He also rushed twice for 33 yards and a touchdown. First-round pick Nick Bosa didn’t have a sack, but he did generate 11 pressures, which tied for the highest single-game total this season according to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner. And fifth-round pick Dre Greenlaw came up with the play of the night. His stop on Jacob Hollister at the goal line sealed the victory for the 49ers, but Greenlaw had a sensational overall game and led the club with 13 tackles. He patrolled the middle of the field very effectively against Russell Wilson and limited the quarterback’s scrambles in the middle of the field.
