Keaundre Greenlaw[1] (born May 25, 1997) is an American football outside linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Arkansas.

Professional career

Greenlaw was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the fifth round (148th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft.[2] Greenlaw was drafted after the 49ers traded linebacker Dekoda Watson to acquire the 148th pick.[3]

In week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football, Greenlaw recorded his first career interception off Russell Wilson in the 27–24 overtime loss. [4] In Week 17, against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football, Greenlaw recorded a team high 13 tackles and made a critical stop on tight end Jacob Hollister inside of the one yard line on the final play of the game which sealed a 26–21 win, securing the one seed for the 49ers in the 2019 playoffs.[5] Greenlaw credited review from the 49ers Week 15 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, which ended in a similar scenario where wide receiver Julio Jones was barely able to break the plane into the endzone, for giving him correct technique to hit Hollister high.[6][7]
