In the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the 49ers select DB Samuel Womack at pick 172 out of Toledo.
Overview
Former walk-on who has developed into a ball-hawking slot defender. Womack has eye-popping speed and quickness with above-average ball production as a three-year starter. He’s a natural at searching for clues and utilizing quality pathways to play the throw. Inconsistent technique and a lack of poise and positioning downfield are areas of concern that might not be easily correctable with coaching. Womack is not strong against the run, but he’s sticky from press and instinctive from zone, which gives him a chance to compete for a roster spot.
