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.

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 vs. Seahawks Injury Report: Arik Armstead among 3 ruled out of Week 14 clash
The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 14 contest against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
As expected, Arik Armstead has been ruled out of this weekend's game, having missed practice throughout the week due to knee and foot injuries. Head coach Kyle Shanahan anticipated the unavailability of his defensive lineman against the Seahawks.
Tight end Ross Dwelley has also been ruled out, having suffered a high-ankle sprain that will sideline him for multiple games.
Also missing Friday's practice were guard Spencer Burford, cornerback Darrell Luter, wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud, and running back Elijah Mitchell. All except McCloud, who
Ambry Thomas showing 49ers there's "not that many out there better than me"
The San Francisco 49ers' defense delivered an impressive performance in Sunday's 42-19 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite reportedly exploring options for another starting-caliber cornerback before the October trade deadline, the team ultimately stuck with Charvarius Ward and Ambry Thomas on the outside.
Thomas playing outside has allowed Deommodore Lenoir to move to the slot corner spot. Defensive coordinator Steve Wilks seems to have found a recipe for success.
Thomas has been impressive in recent weeks, earning his highest-ever overall Pro Football Focus grade (90.2) on Thanksgiving night against the Seattle Seahawks. We'll have to wait until Monday morning to learn how his performance against the Eagles compares, but it's evident that Thomas is

The San Francisco 49ers made it five in a row over the Seattle Seahawks with a 28-16 win over their NFC West rivals at Levi's Stadium on Sunday, and after the game there was plenty to talk about.
We've already discussed the skirmish between 49ers linebacker Fred Warner and Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf, as well as Brock Purdy's big day numbers-wise and the team's newfound frontrunner position for home field advantage in the NFC playoffs. But there's a lot more where that came from, which we'll get
49ers vs. Seahawks: Brock Purdy gears up for familiar foe, acknowledges room for growth
Brock Purdy is gearing up to lead his San Francisco 49ers against the Seattle Seahawks for the second time in three games. This time, the Niners will play host, with Sunday's NFC West clash taking place at Levi's Stadium.
Purdy has faced Seattle more than any other opponent in his NFL career, creating a familiarity with the division rival. Despite never losing to the Seahawks, the second-year quarterback emphasizes that he won't take any opponent for granted.
"They got good players, some really good dudes that have a lot of experience and stuff, obviously with [LB] Bobby Wagner and then [DB Quandre] Diggs in the secondary, some boys that are playing corner that have got some experience now under their belts," Purdy told reporters after Thursday's
