In what’s supposed to be a deep class for edge rushers, the 49ers could find themselves in a position to bolster an already strong pass rush. They’re due to visit with Western Kentucky DE DeAngelo Malone per NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero.
Malone was twice a Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year and the player of the game Senior Bowl for the American side.
In five college seasons he played in 62 games and posted 349 tackles, 60 tackles for loss, 34.0 sacks, one interception and nine forced fumbles. Rules based around the COVID-19 pandemic afforded Malone an additional year of eligibility for the Hilltoppers.
