If you predicted 49ers lineman Daniel Brunskill to be a budding star, good for you!
The San Francisco 49ers have a knack for developing less-known talent, and Daniel Brunskill is the latest in a long line of otherwise unheralded players who seemingly came out of nowhere to assume key roles for the franchise.
The offensive lineman’s road to the Niners was such a path. Undrafted out of San Diego State in 2017, the 6-foot-5, 300-pound lineman signed on as a free agent with the Atlanta Falcons and spent his first two years there on their practice squad.
