Marvin Harrison Jr., Top Performers After 2024 Week 2

Dominick Puni had to wait until Monday Night Football to make his professional debut as the starting right guard for the San Francisco 49ers. The blocker shined brightly in prime time.

“I had flashes for sure, I had good moments, but at the same time a lot to clean up,” Puni said, per Jordan Elliott of NBC Sports Bay Area. “You could tell they were throwing some looks, I feel like for me on the D-line, they were trying to get some guys [to] get me out of position a little bit. Definitely a lot of things to learn from, but all the guys do a hell of a job keeping me in the mix and letting me know.”

The New York Jets have a really good defensive front. So Puni’s downturn against the Minnesota Vikings came as somewhat of a surprise. The offensive tackle convert struggled in Week 2.

Puni allowed three pressures and mentioned he had “a lot of things to learn” when playing on the road and dealing with a silent count. A shorter practice week probably didn’t help matters, either.

Even so, Puni clearly has the chops to be a rookie standout throughout the entire campaign.
