San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch stated that the rookie minicamp would kick off on May 12. However, that appears to be when first-year players can report to the team. The NFL announced today that the 49ers' rookie minicamp would take place May 13-15, two weeks after the draft.
It will be the first opportunity for 49ers coaches to see its latest draft class, which includes nine players, on the practice field. In addition, several undrafted free agents will join them, along with some players looking to try out for the team.
The 49ers drafted the following players in the 2022 NFL Draft.
- Round 2: Drake Jackson, DE, USC
- Round 3: Ty Davis-Price, RB, LSU
- Round 3: Danny Gray, WR. SMU
- Round 4: Spencer Burford, OL, Texas-San Antonio
- Round 5: Samuel Womack, CB. Toledo
- Round 6: Nick Zakelj, OT. Fordham
- Round 6: Kalia Davis, DT. UCF
- Round 6: Tariq Castro-Fields, CB. Penn State
- Round 7: Brock Purdy, QB, Iowa State
Kalia Davis won't be among those on the practice field. He is still recovering from an ACL injury suffered in October.
The team recently announced the signings of these 14 undrafted free agents.
- Kevin Atkins, DL, Fresno State
- Jeremiah Gemmel, LB, North Carolina
- Tayler Hawkins, S, San Diego State
- Qwuantrezz Knight, CB, UCLA
- Taysir Mack, WR, Pittsburgh
- Tay Martin, WR, Oklahoma State
- Jordan Mason, RB, Georgia Tech
- Marcelino McCrary-Ball, LB, Indiana
- Segun Olubi, LB, San Diego State
- Leon O'Neal Jr., S, Texas A&M
- Jason Poe, OL, Mercer
- Sam Schlueter, OL, Minnesota
- Garrett Walston, TE, North Carolina
- Dohnovan West, OL, Arizona State
Running back Cyrus Habibi-Likio of Boise State is among those invited to try out.
Each team may hold a rookie football development program for a period of seven weeks, beginning on May 16. During this period, no activities may be held on weekends, with the exception of the post-draft rookie minicamp.
