The San Francisco 49ers worked out defensive back Kameron Kelly from San Diego State, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle. He primarily played safety in college but also lined up at cornerback and is seen by many as the latter at the NFL level.

Kelly played for the Aztecs as a true freshman before missing six games due to an injury. As a sophomore, he started all 13 games while registering 58 combined tackles with two interceptions. Kelly hauled in eight more interceptions over the next two seasons, including five as a junior.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-2 and 204-pound Kelly had a 40-time of 4.66 seconds, a vertical jump of 33 inches, a broad jump of 120 inches, completed the three-cone drill in 6.94 seconds, had 9 reps in the bench press, and a 20-yard shuttle time of 4.28 seconds. Other measurables for Kelly include an arm length of 31 3/4 inches and hands that measure 8 7/8 inches.
NFL.com projects Kelly to be a fourth-round draft pick.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com wrote the following about Kelly within his scouting report:
"Sources say there are teams out there who are enamored with the idea of playing Kelly at cornerback to take advantage of his length and ball skills. If he gets drafted to play corner, he will require patience as he lacks experience and movement skills to hold up against NFL route-runners. As a safety, teams like his range and ball skills to take it away and flip the field. Kelly's success could be tied to positional and scheme fit more than most."
Tony Pauline of Draft Analyst wrote the following about Kelly within his scouting report:
"Kelly was a productive defensive back who lined up at both cornerback and safety. He offers potential in a zone system where he can face the action and be protected."

John Lynch optimistic 49ers will get players back from COVID list in time for Rams game
By David Bonilla

The San Francisco 49ers have six players on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Five are defensive backs. Those defensive backs are Dontae Johnson, Deommodore Lenoir, Ambry Thomas, Jimmie Ward, and K'Waun Williams.
General manager John Lynch joined KNBR on Friday morning and sounded optimistic that at least some of those players will be available for Sunday's playoff-impacting regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Rams.
"Yeah, I believe we will because the league altered their rules some time back when the CDC did as well," Lynch said on the Murph & Mac show. "Our vaccination rate was as high as there is in the league. And I think we've also been the
Ambry Thomas makes a believer out of Shanahan, 49ers Faithful with game-sealing interception

The San Francisco 49ers had a long list of unexpected heroes in their 27-24 overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, but none of them made for a better feel-good story than rookie cornerback Ambry Thomas.
A third-round selection in the 2021 NFL Draft out of the University of Michigan, Thomas has come a long way in a short time for the 49ers after being used sparingly earlier in the year. Thomas was inactive for much of the first half of the season and only saw 20 total snaps on defense before Week 14, then was eventually pressed into action due to injuries and entered the starting lineup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. He had some struggles at first, but Thomas eventually came into his own and has been a significant contributor on defense ever
