The San Francisco 49ers have a very deep defensive line entering 2017, and it’s a unit made deeper by the acquisition of undrafted free-agent rookie Noble Nwachukwu.
Nwachukwu spent his college days at West Virginia, where he was a four-year player registering 117 total tackles, 83 of them solo.
The 6-foot-2, 275-pound defensive lineman also posted 13 sacks, including 7.5 his junior year, suggesting he offers something of an interior pass rush:
