LB Jaden Dugger’s first career pick-six is another sign of the immediate impact made by the 49ers rookie class.
San Francisco 49ers rookie linebacker Jaden Dugger recorded a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown during the team's 38-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Dugger intercepted a pass from Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins on the opening play of the second half, sparking a defensive performance that forced five total turnovers.

Teammates including Dre Greenlaw, Nick Bosa, and Christian McCaffrey praised Dugger and highlighted the impressive work ethic of the 49ers' 2026 rookie class.
