Unlikely hero emerging on 49ers' defensive line
Briefly

"Sam O who got his opportunity, he got it, I think, for the first time two weeks ago, but he's been a beast in practice. And to watch him carry it over to the games is kind of what I'd like to say we expected because he's been such a pain in practice and in a good way just for our offense to deal with."
"He posted 0.5 sacks in his six contests as a rookie for Tennessee. He had his first full sack against the Rams in Week 3 as a standard practice squad elevation."
"Okuayinonu posted three pressures in 10 pass rushes Sunday according to Pro Football Focus. His obscene 44.4 percent pass rush win rate was by far the best on the team."
"It's worth noting the Patriots' offensive line is putrid and that most of the 49ers' defensive front cooked against them. However, it's clear through the last couple of weeks that Okuayinonu has a chance to be a much-needed contributor to the 49ers' defensive end rotation."
