The San Francisco 49ers went to the torn ACL well on Friday, selecting cornerback Will Redmond in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Redmond went to Mississippi State, and one of his fellow alum weighed in. Yep, Anthony Dixon tweeted about the pick!

Redmond is speaking to the media as we speak, and he said he expects to play in 2016. He tore the ACL in late October, and said his April medical re-check in Indianapolis went well.
