Arik Armstead's Twitter search for fan who copied his belly rub is over

By the time the 49ers season is over, Arik Armstead's jersey could end up threadbare from all the belly rubbing.

Every time the defensive lineman registers a sack, he strokes his stomach in hungry-man fashion to underscore how much he likes feasting on opposing quarterbacks. And he's never had a bigger appetite than this season.

On Sunday, he planted Carolina's Kyle Allen for his fifth and a half sack of the year, giving him the team lead over rookie phenom Nick Bosa, who's something of a sack machine himself.

Now even fans are getting into the action.
