San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Bruce Ellington posted a video today on Instagram of a crazy one-handed catch while practicing in preparation for the team's upcoming training camp.
Ellington was fighting a hamstring issue toward the end of the 2014 season and missed most of the 49ers' offseason programs due to the injury. A now healthy Ellington looks to compete for the 49ers' number three wide receiver spot behind Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith as well as the competition as a returner on special teams. He was the team's return man last season.
