How did 49ers’ Dominick Puni go from no-star recruit to blue-chip draft pick? (paywall)
“Fettuccini alfredo,” Puni said, “but then they had these breadsticks that were so good.”
Unlimited breadsticks?
“Yeah, endless,” Puni said, smiling. “That was the problem.”
Puni changed his diet early in his college career, eating primarily chicken, rice, broccoli and salads. And his practice matchups as a true freshman against all-conference pass rusher Ubong Udom forced him to change his unrefined pass-blocking technique. When asked about his pass-blocking proficiency, Puni shook his head while remembering how Udom dominated him.
