According to Aaron Wilson, the San Francisco 49ers have claimed wide receiver and return specialist Nsimba Webster off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams.
Nsimba Webster claimed by 49ers off waivers from Rams
The Rams signed Webster (5-10, 180) as an undrafted free agent out of Eastern Washington in 2019. He didn't register any catches in his two NFL seasons but averaged 7.4 yards on 25 punt returns and averaged 21.7 yards on 16 kick returns in 2020.
Webster, 25, grew up in Antioch, California.
"Growing up in the Bay Area, half of my family members liked the 49ers and half liked the Raiders," Webster told NFL Draft Blitz in 2019. "My dad was a 49ers fan, and I was a fan of theirs."
Webster will likely compete as a return specialist during training camp. 49ers players report to the team's facilities in Santa Clara next week.
