It's the dead part of the NFL offseason when players scatter for much-needed time off before the start of training camp. You may remember San Francisco 49ers team reporter Keiana Martin on Friday reporting on
what players are doing during their time off. Part of that report included 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin swimming with pigs and sharks in the Bahamas.
That was not all he did with his time off. Goodwin and ex-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick have never played on the same team, but the two are spending part of their offseason together in Egypt.
While Goodwin, a free agent signed in March, is about to begin his first season with the 49ers, Kaepernick remains unemployed. He had a brief visit with the Seattle Seahawks before they decided not to sign him in favor of quarterback Austin Davis.

You may remember that Kaepernick and Goodwin exchanged jerseys following the 49ers' 45-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills – Goodwin's former team. That was Kaepernick's first start of the 2016 season for the 49ers. He replaced a struggling Blaine Gabbert and went on to pass for 2,241 yards, 16 touchdowns, and four interceptions through 11 games last season.

Prior to signing a two-year contract with the 49ers, Goodwin spent his entire career with Buffalo – the team that drafted him out of Texas in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft. In 2016, he had the best season of his career, appearing in 15 games, starting nine, and hauling in 29 catches for 431 yards and three touchdowns for Buffalo.
During the 49ers' offseason program, Goodwin has been lining up everywhere on the practice field, including the slot receiver position. Goodwin was rarely asked to do anything more than line up outside the numbers with Buffalo and the speedy receiver appreciates the variety with the 49ers.
"I'm always open and I'm fast. And I say that in the most humble tone (and) not to be arrogant," Goodwin said. "I'm just confident I'll be open and I'm fast ... People assumed I couldn't run routes. So when they actually see me run routes, they're like, 'Wow, this dude's fast and he can stop fast and he can run routes, and he can catch.' It sickens me that people would think I'm just this fast dude who can't run routes or can't catch."

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
49ers address both sides of the ball in Kiper and Yates 3-round mock draft
We're just 10 days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. While many gain more confidence about their projections for the top of the first round, the picture of what might happen further down remains murky. Most predict the San Francisco 49ers will use their first selection, No. 31 overall, on an offensive lineman. However, an early run on the position may alter those plans. The 49ers may address another position, or they may have to move up to secure a top prospect.
ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates recently revealed a joint three-round mock draft, examining the top 100 selections and forecasting
Schrager mock draft has 49ers adding 'universally liked and respected' receiver
With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent.
Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries.
"McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a
