announced on Tuesday that he will wear No. 56 during the upcoming season. Now we know the numbers of a few other recent additions to the team, thanks to 49ers reporter Joe Fann.
Linebacker David Mayo will wear No. 59, wide receiver Jordan Matthews will wear No. 81, and running back Tevin Coleman will wear No. 26.
Wide receiver
Trent Taylor announced last month that he will switch to No. 15, allowing Matthews to snag the number of his choice.
What is surprising is that second-year linebacker
Fred Warner is switching to No. 54 from the No. 48 jersey he wore during his rookie campaign.
New 49ers cornerback
Jason Verrett and pass rusher Dee Ford have not yet decided on their numbers. Neither of their numbers with their former teams is currently available. Verrett's old number, 22, is worn by running back Matt Breida. Ford's old number, 55, is worn by linebacker Pita Taumoepenu.

New Netflix show "Receiver" will feature 49ers' Deebo Samuel and George Kittle
After the success of "Quarterback," the NFL has announced a new series on Netflix called "Receiver." This series will follow a similar format but focus on those who haul in passes. San Francisco 49ers fans will be delighted to learn that two popular team players, wide receiver Deebo Samuel and tight end George Kittle, will be among those featured in the upcoming show.

Latest PFF mock draft has 49ers making surprise pick in Round 1
The San Francisco 49ers focused on defense in free agency but still have several needs heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. The team did not address the offensive line, and it's a safe bet they will do so with some rookie selections next month. The Niners could also continue bolstering things on the defensive side of the football. Adding to the defensive back, defensive line, or linebacker groups remains possibilities.
Pro Football Focus analyst Brad Spielberger released his latest mock draft and doesn't have the 49ers drafting at any of those positions. Instead, he has the team adding a bit of an insurance policy on offense, drafting former Georgia wide receiver
Offense or defense? NFL.com's mock drafts predict 49ers' first-round pick
Three NFL Media analysts have recently released their mock drafts, projecting the potential moves of each team in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The San Francisco 49ers hold the No. 31 overall pick, marking their first Round 1 selection since 2021.
The latest mock draft comes from Charles Davis, who has San Francisco addressing the offensive line, strengthening a unit that showed inconsistency last season. Davis predicts the 49ers will choose former Oklahoma tackle Tyler Guyton with their first selection.

Is new 49ers backup QB Josh Dobbs an upgrade over Sam Darnold?
In 2022, the San Francisco 49ers seemed to have an embarrassment of riches at the quarterback spot. They had second-year player, and first-year starter Trey Lance, who they had traded the world away to draft. They had Jimmy Garoppolo, the team's starting QB from late 2017-2021, as Lance's backup. And they had a seventh-round draft pick in Brock Purdy, though he would be unlikely to play. Or so we thought.
After Lance and Garoppolo went down, Purdy surprised everyone by keeping the ship afloat and leading the 49ers back to the NFC Championship Game. But after an injury to the UCL in his throwing arm, Purdy's 2023 season was in jeopardy. Which quarterbacks the 49ers would take to training camp was now even more important. They still had Lance, but they added Brandon Allen and
