San Francisco 49ers offensive line coach Pat Flaherty was seen talking with and assisting in the workout of
Ole Miss OT Laremy Tunsil at the school's pro day today. Flaherty was running the offensive line drills for the day. He is unlikely to be the only member of the 49ers organization at the pro day that features not only Tunsil, but
WR Laquon Treadwell as well.
Treadwell ran his 40 yard dash in the 4.6-second range, according to
NFL Network. Certainly not blazing speed, but perhaps not a deal breaker for a team like San Francisco says Cam Inman of the
Mercury News.
Both Tunsil and Treadwell are expected to go in the first round of next month's draft, perhaps even in the top half of that round. Tunsil is expected to be the first Ole Miss player taken, likely going long before the 49ers select with the seventh overall pick.
Another player that the 49ers might be looking at, who might be available after the first round, is defensive lineman
Robert Nkemdiche.
Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee speculates that the team could also be taking a look at
OT Cooper Fahn as well.
According to the school, the Ole Miss pro day had 63 representatives from all 32 NFL teams.
Laremy Tunsil is 6-5 and 310 pounds with an arm span measuring 34-1/4 inches. Cooper Fahn is 6-3, 303 pounds with an arm span measuring 34-3/4 inches.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
