Hmmm...who said 75% of this tonight already?
Eric Branch:
Trent Baalke’s favorite #49ers draft pick in the first two days? I’ve got this one pegged …
… Wisconsin ILB Chris Borland (5-11, 248), a third-round pick who ran a 4.83 40-yard dash at the combine. Borland was the Big 10 Defensive Player of the Year last season and his 15 career forced fumbles ranks second in FBS history.
“It’s Wisconsin,” Baalke said. “I’m from Wisconsin. How can you not love him as a football player? Not tall enough. Not fast enough. Arms are too short. You hear all of that. We just love the makeup. We love the player. He’s everything you’re looking for from a DNA standpoint. He loves the game, he’s a smart football player, he’s an extremely instinctive football player. He’s overcome that lack of arm length. He’s overcome that lack of speed that’s been talked about. He’s just a baller.”
