49ers rookie WR wants 1 specific thing when team visits Australia
One of the San Francisco 49ers rookies has a specific request of what he hopes to get out of his time in Australia.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver De Zhaun Stribling will play his first NFL regular season game on a cricket pitch in Australia, which is about 7,900 miles from Levi's Stadium. While Stribling hopes to win the game, he has a different wish in mind. He expressed to reporters that he wants to see a kangaroo, simply because he finds them fascinating.
The 49ers will have ample opportunity to fulfill Stribling's wish as Australia is home to around 35 million kangaroos, according to the Australian government's Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. The team will be in Australia for several days before their game, providing Stribling with plenty of time to search for a kangaroo.
If the 49ers win and Stribling gets to see a kangaroo, it would make for a memorable first road trip for the rookie.
