According to Justin Melo of The Draft Network, the San Francisco 49ers are among the many teams scheduled to meet virtually with former UCLA running back Demetric Felton. The other teams include the New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, and others.
"He will help an NFL team in a variety of ways," wrote Melo.
#UCLA RB/WR Demetric Felton is a true swiss army knife. He will help an NFL team in a variety of ways.
Melo calls Felton a "true swiss army knife," referring to the incoming rookie's versatility that was on display for the Bruins. He has experience as both a running back and a wide receiver.
Felton (5-10, 200) appeared in six games with five starts at running back as a senior this past season, rushing for 668 yards with five touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. He also added 22 receptions for 159 yards and three receiving scores, bringing his season total to eight all-purpose touchdowns.
Felton's best game in 2020 was against Arizona, during which he rushed for 206 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries while adding four catches for 24 yards. He did not play in UCLA's season finale against Stanford due to an injury.
Felton was a wide receiver for the Bruins in previous years. He caught 55 passes for 594 yards with four receiving touchdowns as a junior in 2019 while adding 86 carries for 331 yards and another score.
"Demetric Felton aligned at running back and in the slot for UCLA's spread offense," wrote Drae Harris of The Draft Network. "He is a very good athlete, as evidenced by his dynamic agility, change of direction, and body control. He's been effective in the run game when used on the perimeter. He runs with the inclination to get outside and use elusiveness and wiggle In space. In the passing game, he is very good due to his effectiveness with the ball in his hands. He is competitive and willing in pass protection situations. He demonstrates good catching skills on screens and on check-downs. He is a good route-runner out of the backfield and linebackers have a difficult time covering him in space. He doesn't have the prototypical size for the NFL. As a result, he will likely be a slot wide receiver or a 'package guy' in the NFL."

The San Francisco 49ers have reportedly signed former USC offensive lineman Jarrett Kingston to his rookie four-year deal. The team made him a sixth-round draft pick, selecting him 215th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. This leaves wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, the team's first-round selection, as the only unsigned 49ers draft pick.

"It was a great pick. I give those guys a lot of credit," DeCosta said of the 49ers' selection,
