The East-West Shrine Game offers NFL teams one of many opportunities to scout players entering the draft. The 2018 all-star college game is the 93rd in the history of the event and will be held at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburgh, Florida, on January 20.
Following practices leading up to the game, representatives from NFL teams are allowed to interview the more than 100 players taking part in the event. So far, representatives from the San Francisco 49ers have spoken at length with a number of potential draft prospects this week.
Charlie Campbell from Walter Football has been
providing lists of which teams have spoken to which players. A list of the 49ers' interviews is provided below.
"While teams say they 'talk' to every player, teams do not take the time to conduct formal interviews with every draft prospect, so this can be a clue as to which players are on their radar," writes Campbell.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport joined NFL Network ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft, which kicks off in a couple of hours, and provided an update on San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk amid several trade rumors.
"I think it's fair to say the status of Brandon Aiyuk is very firmly up in the air for the San Francisco 49ers," Rapoport stated. "No doubt they're going to have interest from teams potentially trading for Brandon Aiyuk. And we may actually find out tonight because the 49ers have been very clear internally and externally. They would like a first-round pick for such a talented receiver. And the reality is this has been the market."
