The San Francisco 49ers have announced that they have signed former Sacramento State star WR DeAndre Carter to a two-year deal.
The 23-year-old receiver reportedly looked good while joining a group of players who worked out for the team earlier this week.
Carter (5-8, 190 lbs) originally signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent in May of 2015. He was waived in late August of the same year and signed to the Oakland Raiders practice squad that September. The Raiders released Carter in December of 2015 and he was signed to the New England Patriots practice squad. He spent the 2016 training camp with New England but was waived in September.
During his senior season at Sacramento State, Carter had 99 receptions for 1,321 yards and 17 touchdowns.

The San Francisco 49ers handily defeated the New York Giants in Week 3, winning 30-12 to improve to 3-0 on their season, scoring over 30 points for the third consecutive week of the season.
Despite the comfortable win, the 49ers were nowhere near the "A-Game" offensively, struggling on some early drives and kicking field goals when touchdown opportunities were present, ultimately showcasing how dangerous this offense could be.
