Mohamed Sanu

Mohamed Sanu is a professional football player for the San Francisco 49ers in the National Football League. Sanu began to play football at a young age and quickly became the star of his high school team as a three-option quarterback. His success in high school followed into college when he enrolled at Rutgers University. As a true freshman, Mohamed recorded 51 receptions for 639 yards and three touchdowns making him a consensus preseason All-Big East wide receiver the following season. The next transition for Sanu came when he entered the 2012 NFL Draft. The skills he had exhibited in high school and college led to him becoming the 83rd overall selection in the draft, going to the Cincinnati Bengals where he spent his first four seasons. His best year in Cincinnati came in 2014, when he caught 56 passes for 790 yards and five touchdowns. Sanu continued to improve when he joined the Atlanta Falcons, gaining over 650 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons, including a career-best 838 yards in 2018. Atlanta traded Sanu to the New England Patriots in 2019 and he joined the 49ers in 2021.
