It’s been an offseason full of changes for the San Francisco 49ers. Several players on both sides of the ball have moved on, some by trade, and others in free agency. The Niners also have a new, yet familiar defensive coordinator.
Yet, despite all these changes, the 49ers still have an urgent area of need, especially right now as training camps are getting underway. Specifically, the 49ers’ wide receiver depth chart is looking particularly thin due to Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall being sidelined with injuries, and Deebo Samuel is long gone after being traded.
There have even been rumblings suggesting Jauan Jennings wants a trade. Yet, help could be on the way.
Recently, top free agent Gabe Davis expressed a strong desire to join the 49ers, not only due to the potential opportunity to quickly land a key role, but also thanks to the ingenuity of coach Kyle Shanahan.
Even though they missed the playoffs last season, there’s no denying that the 49ers still have plenty of great players, including Christian McCaffrey, Aiyuk, George Kittle, and Fred Warner, to name a few. While Davis may not be a star, he clearly wants to join a contender with a good offense, and that makes the 49ers an ideal fit.
