Javon Kinlaw’s incredible story just got another amazing chapter.
The South Carolina defensive tackle was once homeless and didn’t play football until he was 15. And now, he’s the 14th overall selection by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2020 NFL draft, with the team grabbing him as a replacement for DeForest Buckner, the DT they traded for this very selection.
Apparently, Kinlaw’s father has been a Niners fan for life. And when he saw his son get taken by his favorite team, his reaction was priceless.
He fell out of his chair and rolled on the floor, and then celebrated for the camera:
Mr. Kinlaw is a lifelong #49ers fan.
