Obi Melifonwu Signing With 49ers Defense
4 years agoFree-agent safety Obi Melifonwu, who was the Raiders second-round pick in 2017, is signing with the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, according to his representative Sean Stellato. Melifonwu has played in just seven games (one start) with the Raiders and Patriots in 2017 and 2018 and hasn't played an NFL snap since. The 26-year-old has recorded just 10 combined tackles and no interceptions in his brief time in the NFL, but the Niners will take a flier on the former Connecticut product.
