Cornerback Mooney Ward is ready for his 49ers’ debut Sunday and will face a ‘slithery’ receiver in the Bears’ Darnell Mooney.
SANTA CLARA — The 49ers’ biggest addition since last season’s playoff run could have the biggest matchup in Sunday’s season opener at Chicago.In one corner is 49ers cornerback Mooney Ward, who prefers not to be called by his given first name, Charvarius.“Mooneu on Mooney, who you’ve got? Take the real Mooney, big Mooney,” Ward said with a laugh Monday at his locker. “It’s going to be fun. I haven’t played against him yet.
All figure at some point to face the Bears’ Mooney. He had 81 receptions for 1,055 yards and four touchdowns last season, after totaling 61-631-4 as a rookie fifth-round pick from Tulane. Ward shadowed opposing teams’ top receiver last year en route to his free agency pay day . Look for his 6-foot-1, 204-pound body to stick on one side in the 49ers’ scheme.
