49ers EDGE Daeshon Hall wasn’t a strong candidate to make the 53-man roster, but that could change with Jordan Willis’ suspension.

In 2020, the San Francisco 49ers had some success turning an underachieving pass-rusher, Jordan Willis, into a decent rotational player. After being acquired via trade with the New York Jets, Willis posted a career-best 3.5 sacks on an abbreviated campaign with the Niners a year ago.

Perhaps San Francisco can do the same with a player it picked up late last year, EDGE Daeshon Hall.
