Last week, Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports reported that the San Francisco 49ers were among several teams that have expressed interest in Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver and special-teams ace Ray-Ray McCloud. On Monday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic added two new names to the list—Jakeem Grant and Kalif Raymond.
"The common denominator: They all can fly and would be upgrades at returner for SF," wrote Barrows.
Both Grant and Raymond are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents on Wednesday.
Per sources, the 49ers have checked in on FA receivers Jakeem Grant, Ray-Ray McCloud and Kalif Raymond. The common denominator: They all can fly and would be upgrades at returner for SF. Raymond played in Detroit last season under new 49ers Ass't HC Anthony Lynn.
Grant spent last season with the Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears. The Dolphins made him a sixth-round pick out of Texas Tech in 2016.
Grant had 848 return yards and a touchdown on special teams between the Dolphins and Bears last season, resulting in a Pro Bowl selection.
Raymond spent last season with the Detroit Lions. The Denver Broncos signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Holy Cross in 2016. He spent time with the New York Jets, New York Giants, and Tennessee Titans between his stints with the Broncos and Lions.
Raymond recorded 236 yards on 21 punt returns last season.
