The San Francisco 49ers seem like a perfect fit for Clelin Ferrell as he seeks to spark a career that hasn't lived up to his lofty draft status.
SANTA CLARA — When Clelin Ferrell was seeking a new home to spark a career that hadn't lived up to his lofty draft status, the San Francisco 49ers were the perfect fit.
"Coach Kris is someone who regardless of where you come from in the league, regardless of what a scout, regardless of what a front office may have thought about you, he's a guy where whatever ceiling you might have set for yourself, Coach Kris is someone who takes the ceiling off," Ferrell said."He tells you never let somebody put a ceiling on you. I think that ability gives his players confidence.
"I think having Coach Kris has been really, really big for me," he said."Just from the aspect of me taking a lot of reading out of my game and more so now I'm out there just reacting. I feel like we're just a pack of animals out there and we're really just playing off of instinct." "I think my time with the Raiders was a blessing," Ferrell said."I can live and be happy with what happened because I know that I developed as a player. I gave my all to the organization and left it better."
But Kocurek said he got a good report on Ferrell from his first defensive line coach, Rod Marinelli, and feels he will fit well in San Francisco's aggressive defensive front.
