Deommodore Lenoir was a quiet round-five signing by the San Francisco 49ers back in 2021. There was no hype around, no major talks. Not many even expected him to be a starter for the team. This rhetoric was fueled by a quiet rookie year as well, when he only made 17 total tackles and defended 2 passes. But Lenoir came back in 2o22 with an objective and a fire burning in him. Since then, Lenoir has been a starter for the 49ers and has amassed 265 total tackles, while managing to get 1 sack and 1 forced fumble in 49 games.

These figures, along with the 33 long interceptions and 26 passes defended in total, resulted in the 49ers repaying him for his effort. In 2024, Lenoir was finally handed a five-year, $92 million extension, which will keep him with the 49ers through the 2029 season.
