Could the 49ers double down on wide receiver?"According to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle Tom Rathman Jersey , the San Francisco 49ers worked out Fresno State wide receiver KeeSean Johnson.Johnson finished in the top 10 nationally with 95 receptions and 1,340 receiving yards (14.1 average), scoring eight times to garner second-team All-Mountain West accolades. Johnson also had over 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns in 2017, too.As far as his athletic testing went, Johnson failed to stand out. He ran a 4.6 40-yard dash. That’s not the end of the world if you show well in other areas. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Johnson had a 30” vertical jump, a 7.28 3-cone drill, and a 4.23 20-yard shuttle. Each of those are below average. Outside of the obvious outliers, you will have a tough time finding good football players that run over a 7.20 3-cone time. That’s just history.Johnson has produced each year. He has that going for him. He also has shown he can play both inside and outside. What I’m interested in is will the 49ers double down on receiver? Johnson is projected to go after the third round. Everyone is expecting the 49ers to spend a pick on a wide receiver before that. Could Kyle Shanahan convince John Lynch to spend two picks? Or is this a situation where Johnson goes undrafted and the team signs him then? Antonio Brown may never reach Jerry Rice’s level of accomplishments.But according to Rice, he wants to wear the same uniform.During an interview on 95.7 The Game, the league’s all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns said he spoke to Brown via FaceTime on Sunday, so he trusts his source.“He wants to come here really badly,” Rice said, via Matt Maiocco of .That’s something Rice would like to see as well http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-deion-sanders-jersey , if the Steelers want to ship Brown to the West Coast. He thinks as much for the obvious football benefit as much as the signal it would send to a fan base.鈥淭his guy, man, he鈥檚 a totally, complete team player,” Rice said (though Ben Roethlisberger might disagree). “I don鈥檛 know what happened in Pittsburgh but I know that this guy, if he comes here to San Francisco, he鈥檚 going to do everything possible to help this team to win. . . .鈥淚f it was left up to me, he鈥檇 be here in a heartbeat. It sends a message to the fans, that, 鈥楬ey, look, we鈥檙e not looking down the road to win. We鈥檙e looking to win right now.’ And he鈥檚 that type of player 鈥?big playmaker that can make those big plays and really put a lot of fans in the stands.鈥漈he 30-year-old Brown is still producing at a high level, leading the league in touchdowns this year. But his act has worn thin on enough people that Steelers president Art Rooney II said it would be “hard to envision” he would stay there in 2019.The 49ers have approximately $70 million in cap room, but that’s not a big deal since Brown is signed at reasonable rates for the next three years.Compensating the Steelers would be another matter. The 49ers have just five draft picks, including the No. 2 and 36 overall picks.
