Yahoo Sports NFL on De'Von Achane

Achane's pad-lowering, explosive style presents major challenge for 49ers D.

Achane presents a significant challenge for the 49ers' defense in Week 2. Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris described him as "tough, fast" and noted that while he is often mistaken for an outside runner, he "lowers his pads, he runs for the extra yards" and "makes five, eight and he makes eight, 10." Morris emphasized that Achane "can make a really explosive run or catch" and "presents a lot of challenges," requiring the 49ers to be disciplined, physical, and ready to tackle.
