Pita T is going to be good in the pros, just wait

49ers just promoted Pita Taumoepenu from practice squad, where he’s been all of this 2018 season. Taumoepenu was their sixth round draft pick in 2017 — a raw speed rusher who hadn’t much played football prior to college. As expected he’s stoked about the news in the locker room

Pita Taumoepenu played last year at 245 pounds. He added 10 pounds to reach 255 before this season.

“I‘ve been getting used to making all moves at the heavier weight,” Tamoeupenu said.

He now weighs 250 pounds, which seems to be the ideal weight for edge in this 4-3 scheme.
