Kendrick Bourne-WR-is a 49er again | Page 15

No thread for this kid, so I figured I'd put one up. He's one of my UDFA guys that I hope will make the team. He's got some size (6-1 205) and has long arms and strong hands. His last season he had 1,200 yards and 7 TDs. He's got quick feet ( 6.73 in 3 cone which was 4th overall at combine). He's not a burner but I feel like we got enough of those guys. Reportedly is having a good camp as well. Him and Boldin Jr will be the guys I'm watching in preseason.

Kid looks good. Interesting to see what he looks like next year after an entire camp and playing time. He has the skills.

Looks like Josh Morgan (who was coming on before injury 2011)

I was really down on this kid in preseason, but he's producing. Kudos, Kendrick. And that grill is niice

I can see that

Think Josh was 84 too right?

I like this kid a lot. He plays the way Walsh likes his receivers to play. Checks all the boxes. He made some seriously difficult catches for us despite limited opportunity. Looking over the whole year including preseason.

I was thinking the same. But I think he's a bit more quick than Joshua Morgan. For a second there I thought he might do Mertons chicken dance after one of his catches.

Yup he's got great feet and solid hands...really his main issue coming out of school was competition level and the fact that teams targeted Cooper Kupp.

He also ran a horrible 40 (4.7) but imo he's much quicker than that.

Agreed on all points. I suspect WR isnt a high priority next draft which is probably the first time in like 15 years we can say this. At least in my opinion looking at the other guys we brought in too.

He's looked pretty good but nothing really special about him. He may be a decent #4 or #5 WR for us.

Runs GREAT routes, has got great hands and has speed and size. He looks more like a 1 than Marquise.

Only thing similar is their number. Bourne has quick feet and runs great routes, much better hands and speed. Morgan was a prototypical #3/4. I️ think Bourne can be a #1 from his route running alone.

He kinda reminds me of Stevie Johnson.

I don't see the speed you're talking about but agree on everything else. I threw out the Stevie Johnson comparison.
