The 49ers have been active signing their rookies to contracts, finalizing deals with six of their eight draft picks. The team also found time to add a group of undrafted free agents, as the team announced that they’ve signed eight rookie free agents:
- Evan Anderson, DL (Florida Atlantic)
- Jaylen Mahoney, S (Vanderbilt)
- Briason Mays, OL (Southern Mississippi)
- Tanner Mordecai, QB (Wisconsin)
- Drake Nugent, OL (Michigan)
- Terique Owens, WR (Missouri State)
- Mason Pline, TE (Furman)
- Cody Schrader, RB (Missouri)
Evan Anderson got a significant pay day to join the 49ers offseason roster. The Florida Atlantic product earned a $30K signing bonus and had $250K of his base salary guaranteed, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston. The defensive lineman was productive in four collegiate seasons, compiling 20 tackles for loss, seven sacks, and three fumble recoveries. Elsewhere on defense, Jaylen Mahoney joins the 49ers after snagging four interceptions and collecting 17 passes defended in fives seasons with the Commodores.
Tanner Mordecai bounced around during his college career. He didn’t play much in three seasons at Oklahoma before transferring to SMU, where he tossed 72 touchdowns across two seasons. He spent the 2023 campaign at Wisconsin, where he connected on nine touchdowns in 10 games. During rookie minicamp, he’ll be joined on the offensive side by Cody Schrader, who is coming off a breakout 2023 campaign where he collected 1,818 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns. The 49ers also added Terique Owens, who is the son of former 49ers star wideout Terrell Owens.
Interesting – a ‘factory of sorts, hope they all pay dividends to their respective teams with quality production and minimum attitude.
Owens to SF
Rice to LAC
Harrison, Jr. – to AZ
Alt to LAC
Sure I’m missing other ‘sons of’ previous top notch NFL players
A bunch in this year’s class. Luke McCaffrey, though he gets more talk as a brother than a son. Kris Jenkins Jr. Frank Gore Jr. signed with Buffalo. That’s the one that makes me feel oldest.
