Twitter reacts to the 49ers taking a 27-year old punter

Nobody saw this one coming. The San Francisco 49ers traded back six spots in the fourth round. Some were upset because there were a couple of safeties on the board. Alabama’s Deionte Thompson was available, but the 49ers passed on him and some other players for Punter Mitch Wishnowsky. As always, Twitter didn’t disappoint.

Mitch Wishnowsky is the former Aussie Rules rugby player. He'll change the position of the field for the 49ers. Tremendous punting talent in mold of Michael Dickson. I love this pick in Round 4.

For what it’s worth, Wishnowsky ran a 4.
