The San Francisco 49ers and Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson had a semi-private workout on Wednesday with one other team. Tight end Jordan Leggett was also part of that workout, per Clemson sports reporter Dan Hope.
Other players who participated in the workout were wide receivers Artavis Scott and Germone Hopper.
Leggett played in 10 games as a true freshman in 2013 and had 10 receptions for 176 yards and two touchdowns. In 2014, he started in seven of 11 games played while recording 14 receptions for 161 yards and one touchdown.
In 2015, he was a finalist for the John Mackey Award after catching 40 passes for 525 yards and eight touchdowns. Leggett caught 46 passes for 736 yards and seven touchdowns in 2016 on his way to a national championship.
Lance Zierlein of
NFL Media had the
following to say in his scouting report:
"Has elite size for the position, but his motor and effort leave a lot to be desired. Despite his size, might not have the attitude necessary to be an in-line blocker on the NFL level. Tape shows a route-runner who could struggle to uncover against quality man coverage. Leggett has traits and talent, but his production was helped along by Clemson's system. Will need a more ramped-up motor to reach his potential."

49ers hosted Clemson CB Nate Wiggins on pre-draft visit
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports that former Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins was among the draft prospects the San Francisco 49ers hosted on Top-30 visits.
Cornerback stands out as one of the 49ers' primary needs heading into the draft. The team has been striving to solidify the outside spot opposite Charvarius Ward for years. Doing so this year would allow Deommodore Lenoir to transition to the slot position permanently.
Wiggins is one of several cornerbacks the 49ers have welcomed for visits. Andru Phillips of Kentucky, Decamerion Richardson of Mississippi State, and Chau Smith-Wade of Washington State are among the recent visitors to the team's Santa Clara

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.
