CB Taveze Calhoun has had or will have workouts with the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per Aaron Wilson of the
Houston Chronicle.
He also had or will have visits with the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins. It wasn't clear if the workouts and visits had happened already.
During the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot and 192-pound Calhoun had a 40-time of 4.58 seconds and a vertical jump of 33.5 inches.
Lance Zierlein of
NFL Media had the
following to say in his draft profile:
High-character leader whose overall intelligence translates into positive plays on the field. Calhoun doesn't have good deep speed but finds ways to cover up his speed deficiency while still making plays on the throws underneath. A failure to run well would be a huge concern because he lacks the physicality as a tackler to be a full-time zone corner. Late Day 3 draft pick or camp invite might be his door into the NFL.

Kyle Shanahan feels "really fortunate" with 49ers' QB room
Kyle Shanahan praises his quarterback room every year. Last season, the San Francisco 49ers went through three starting quarterbacks and still made it to the NFC Championship Game. Trey Lance was the Week 1 starter but suffered a season-ending ankle injury during his second game. Eleven weeks later, Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a broken foot.
That opened the door for rookie Brock Purdy to show his coaches and the NFL world that he belonged, despite being the last overall pick in the draft. Purdy guided the 49ers to eight consecutive wins before suffering a severe injury in that NFC title game matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Two of the quarterbacks from last season—Lance and Purdy—remain. Both are just 23 years old. They are joined by Sam

The San Francisco 49ers entered the offseason with several questions after key figures, such as Jimmie Ward, Mike McGlinchey, Samson Ebukam, and Charles Omenihu, departed in free agency, creating the possibility for position battles in organized team activities(OTAs) and training camp.
