49ers pre-draft visit: Baylor TE Ben Sims

According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2, Baylor tight end Ben Sims is visiting with the San Francisco 49ers today.

Sims registered 31 receptions for 255 yards and three touchdowns through 12 game appearances as a senior in 2022, per Sports Reference. He caught 78 passes for 785 yards with 12 touchdowns through his four collegiate seasons.

"Tight end with average size and talent as a run blocker but the tools to get a little better in that area," wrote Lance Zierlein of NFL.com in the player's draft profile. "Baylor frequently used Sims as a wingback who was asked to base block, lead block and get into space on outside zone. As a pass-catcher, he lacks separation talent and is going to get what is given to him by the defense. Sims' average traits mean he will likely need to be in a favorable situation to make a roster."

Sims is from San Antonio, TX. He earned a pre-draft grade of 5.68 from NFL.com, which equates to a "chance to make a roster or practice squad," per the site's 8-point grading scale.

The 6'5" and 250-pound Sims had a 40-time of 4.59 seconds, a vertical jump of 36 inches, a broad jump of 122 inches, 15 reps in the bench press, a 7.46-second three-cone drill time, and a 20-yard shuttle time of 4.41 seconds at his personal Pro Day, per NFLDraftBuzz.
