DE Kevin Dodd was among those that worked out for the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday, which was part of a weekend when the team hosted numerous draft prospects.
Late last month, Dodd was among the players that 49ers general manager Trent Baalke privately worked out himself. He worked out for Baalke the same week as former Tiger teammate
DE Shaq Lawson.

During the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-5 and 277-pound Dodd had a 40-time of 4.86 seconds. During his pro day, he had a vertical jump of 30.5 inches and a broad jump of 110 inches.

Lance Zierlein of NFL Media, who compared Dodd to Michael Bennett, had the following to say
within his draft profile:
The arrow is pointed up for Dodd who finished the season with a streak of five consecutive games with a sack. Dodd already looks the part of an NFL defensive end and his desire to make plays coupled with his physical traits and talent should have him shooting up draft boards. His lack of college snaps could preclude him from being "pro ready", but his instincts and football intelligence should expedite the learning process.
In 2015, Dodd had 82 tackles and 12.5 sacks in 15 games for the Clemson Tigers.

San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh spoke with reporters after practice on Thursday, as the team prepares for its game against the New Orleans Saints. Here is everything he had to say.
Transcript provided by the San Francisco 49ers Communications staff.
Wanted to ask you to just, obviously, I'm sure you want to generate more pass rush. Just regarding two guys who statistically, sack-wise, haven't done much in that regard lately who are good candidates to do so, being DL Arik Armstead and DT Javon Kinlaw. Just maybe what are the reasons for that? I guess when I ask about Kinlaw, I do understand he's a rookie and probably came in more advanced as a run stopper, but what gives you the belief that he will develop as a pass
Brink's Best Bets: 49ers at Saints and All NFL Week 10 Predictions
By Gilbert Brink
Nov 12, 2020
This week will be one that determines whether the 49ers should pack it in, or keep on fighting. In a prior article, I wrote that if the 49ers managed to be 5-5 after 10 games, they would have a chance to make the playoffs. The New Orleans Saints stand between the 49ers and any reasonable chance to compete for a playoff spot in 2020. Week 10 will be a big one. In Week 9 the 49ers disappointed, but my picks hit big. I hit on 9/13 of my picks, so let's keep that rolling and pick the Week 10 games:
Best & Worst Picks of Week 9
My Best Pick: Bills 43 - Seahawks 37
Final Score: Bills 44 - Seahawks 34
My Worst Pick: Buccaneers

All football energy flows through the Great Magnet, and he has decided the San Francisco 49ers will endure more than their fair share of pitfalls and anguish this season.
The 49ers began Week 9 already a hobbled franchise and were further undercut when wide receiver Kendrick Bourne tested positive for COVID-19 last Wednesday. Shortly after, tackle Trent Williams and wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk also landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
Only fools attempt to defy the negative energy that has gripped this rotten year.
