Talanoa Hufanga will be a free agent the 49ers probably won't re-sign this offseason. So, they'll need someone to replace him. They could try to draft a Day 1 starter such as South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori.

Emmanwori, one of the biggest safeties at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, said he expected to run the 40-yard dash in the “4.3s.” For reference: No safety at the 2024 NFL Combine ran the 40 in under 4.40 seconds. Sure enough, Emmanwori was right again.

South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori put himself on the shortest of lists with his work at the NFL scouting combine.
