DB Te’Cory Couch was one of those players. The undrafted rookie DB put on a show, racking up nine tackles, including a sack.
“Oh, man, it was great,” LB Dorian Williams said. “You know, he been balling all camp. And, you know, Coach always say our corners tackle, our DBs tackle. So, it’s great go out there and see him go make a make a lot of plays. That’s expected of him.”
Another undrafted free agent made a name for himself in RB Frank Gore Jr., rushing for over 100-yards and added in a touchdown in front of his father, Frank Gore Sr., who was in the stands to Saturday’s preseason finale.
Gore has seemingly gotten better from rookie mini-camp to training camp and each preseason game, rushing for 21 yards against the Bears, 41 yards in the previous game against the Steelers, before exploding for 101 yards on 18 carries against the Panthers.
“I thought he did some good things as well,” McDermott said. “…Ran hard, and gave us some juice in there.”
“Probably just like most rookies, probably more and more comfortable as the training camp wore on, and then preseason one to two, and then two to three as well, and just getting more and more comfortable in our run game and our system.”
