He could be a huge impact and the steal of the draft. He will most likely see time on special teams this year serving as both an NFL evaluation and acclamation period.
He made the 53 man roster but he didn't get any playing time in week 1. I did like some of things he did in the preseason though. I hope he progresses.
Everybody was on Tyson Jackson's nuts but just from seeing these highlights, i can tell RJF is special. He has a nice first step and size. Good thing he with the niners.... hopefully he can call Bryant Young for some tips.
Great highlite reel, Ricky is best suited for the 9ers 3-4 defensive scheme due to his quick 1st step to occupy tackles. If he had to play a traditional 4-3 scheme, he would jacked up at the line of scrimmage because he is not a natural knee bender.
where he will excell at is his use of his hands, if you notice he doesnt allow the linemans to get there hands on him, with good coaching he can become a complete freak
He has the body to play in the NFL and shows good quickness for a big man, but he plays too upright. NFL o-linemen will get leverage and stone that everytime.
Only the best DTs can anticipate the snap count like that....it's gonna be harder to do that in the NFL but looks like he's smart enough to be an exceptional DT. Go Niners!
He's got nice timing right when the ball is snapped (starting @ 4:00). But Ricky gotta watch out for a quarterback's "cadence" though, where they try to make you jump offsides...
Can't believe this guy went in the 7th round . . . . Absolute steal by the 49ers! This guy had some off field crap go down and it dropped his stock. Had that not gone down, this guy would have been a def 1st or 2nd round pick.
This guy is fucking menacing, whenever I see a pic of Ricky at 49ers HQ he looks scary as fuck! -He reminds me a lot of Warren Sapp and Charles Haley (performance + attitude wise).
Singletary and Scot drafted some mean sons of bitches this year in the later rounds (Coffee, Bear, McKillop, Jean-Francois).
I can't believe how many big name players the 49ers got this year. Michael Crabtree, Glenn Coffee, Nate Davis, Ricky Jean Francois. Hopefully they're all as good as they were in college.
Possible top 10 pick next year if he stays healthy. We all know what he can do, but he'll get 10 times the money next year and the Tigers need him. Either way this dude is a FREAK!
I Think We Should Start Fresh and Let Aubrayo Franklin Go and Give Jean Francois a Chance Its Time To Start off New..GO NiNeRs!!

I didn't watch this guy in College but I hear a lot of good things about him. I'm a 49ers fan and I'm hoping that this guy is a 7th round steal.

everyone says that first step is so key to finding a good pass rusher, looks like at 4:00 that Ricky's got that step
