Lenoir violently claps for former 49ers WR Snead originally appeared in NBC Sports Bay Area
Cornerback Deommodore Lenoir didn’t mince words when talking about former 49ers wide receiver Willie Snead IV.
Snead recently made a series of comments on social media this seemed to overshadow San Francisco, while also adding that he wanted to return to the AFC North due to the style of football being different – something Lenoir clearly opposed.
During an Instagram Live on Saturday, Lenoir violently clapped back at his former teammate.
“I hope they bring Snead back so I can tie him up,” Lenoir said on her Instagram live. “He’s just hurt right now, he’s in his feelings. That’s why he’s there talking about – What he said, ‘I want to get back to the AFC North. Come on man, you’re not doing that. They know what he’s like, they know how physical he is in practice.

Snead’s comments about wanting to return to the AFC North came after two posts on his X account — which has since been deactivated or deleted — where he appeared to attack the 49ers organization for lack of playing time during his two seasons in San Francisco.
“All I want is to come back to a team that isn’t afraid to let guys compete for a roster spot,” Snead said on X. “These last 3 years have been nothing short of entitlement… Competition breeds champions!”
“Flock Fanz and WhoDat Nation have always been good to me. Some real ones. Faithful also have a huge fan base. I just wish I could have given you more than I had to offer.”
Snead is a nine-year NFL veteran who recorded 281 receptions for 3,445 yards during his career, having stints with the New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers and Las Vegas Raiders before joining the 49ers in 2022.
The 31-year-old spent two seasons in San Francisco, recording just two receptions for 14 yards during his time in the Bay Area, most of which were spent on San Francisco’s practice squad.
Snead remains a free agent, and based on Lenoir’s comments, the defenseman would like a reunion with his former teammate so they can discuss things on the practice field instead of on social media.
