San Francisco 49ers defensive end Solomon Thomas is nominated for the NFL Rookie of the Week award for his performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Thomas, a first-round pick by the 49ers, recorded six tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss and one quarterback hit against the Jaguars, according to NFL.com.
Winning the award is easier said than done, however. Marshon Lattimore of the New Orleans Saints is one of the players nominated and he’s been phenomenal this year. Lattimore had six tackles, four pass breakups and an interception in New Orleans’ win over the Atlanta Falcons.
