Overview

  • On The Richard Sherman Podcast, Lenoir declared that he will be the best cornerback in the league during the 2025 season.
  • With Charvarius Ward’s move to Indianapolis leaving a void at outside corner, Lenoir steps into the 49ers’ undisputed CB1 role.
  • His five-year, $89.8 million extension signed in November 2024 ranks him among the NFL’s 20 highest-paid cornerbacks.
  • Coaches such as defensive coordinator Robert Saleh have lauded Lenoir’s mentality as San Francisco’s secondary rebuild features younger starters like Renardo Green and rookie Upton Stout.
  • Lenoir ties his belief in being overlooked to allowing only three touchdowns across his first four seasons and has set goals of earning Pro Bowl, All-Pro and Super Bowl honors.
