Hello 49er fans:

I will post Trivia Question 2 on Wednesday, the 16th. Post time approximately 4 PM Pacific (ST).
Right here in this thread.

I decided to post Question II this week, instead of next week, because I think that for some of you, it will temporarily temper some of the anxiety over Sunday's game. That is arguably the most marquee matchup of the season thus far.

P.S. If the question is not posted at the appointed time, just assume that I got delayed, by the ordinary busy-ness of life. I will then post it as soon as I can.

Thank you.

49ers never picked a defensive player number 1 overall. So, it must be a player that was subsequently acquired. And he is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Cousineau

I found a football database that said Leo N. was a 1st round pick in 1950, and it lists him as DT/OT.
[1st Round, 11th overall, by the San Francisco 49ers, 1950)
But as I mentioned, Leo is not the answer.
Tom Cousiineau is also not the answer.

It has been 2 hours. So I will remind you of something I put in my Introductory post:

The questions were designed to be difficult and not easy at all. Some are very tricky. Words, phrases, or grammar related things may be inserted, or omitted, in order to mislead you or misdirect you.
