Cornerback Ambry Thomas’ late-season rise saw him make a win-clinching interception Sunday that vaulted the 49ers into the playoffs.
Such ball-hawking skills have been rare this season among the 49ers’ defensive backs, who drew 21 pass-interference and five holding penalties, with Thomas responsible for only one of the latter. The 49ers totaled nine interceptions in the regular season, including one apiece from Thomas, Moseley, K’Waun Williams and deposed starter Josh Norman.
Former 49ers cornerback Eric Davis — a hero in the 1994 team’s NFC Championship win against Dallas — was pleased to hear Thomas so humble after Sunday’s game. Earlier this season, Davis encouraged Thomas to let him know he was on the right track. Thomas, the No. 102nd draft pick, was a COVID opt-out his fourth year at Michigan. He described it “challenging” to ride the bench most of his rookie year but is “grateful” for making him practice harder. After one recent practice, he made interceptions on back-to-back periods, drawing the approval of an onlooking Lynch.
