San Francisco 49ers: Who is safety Vinnie Sunseri?

After a rocky, injury-riddled NFL start with the New Orleans Saints, now-San Francisco 49ers safety Vinnie Sunseri is hoping to make Santa Clara a long-term home.

Sunseri entered the league as a fifth-round draft pick of the Saints back in 2014. After being released in 2016, Sunseri had a brief stint with the New England Patriots before the Niners signed him in November of the same year.

The former Alabama product has been a special teams ace, albeit in limited action, since joining the pro ranks.
