The San Francisco 49ers had their second organized team activities(OTAs) day on Tuesday, which was the first day open to the media.

San Francisco 49ers rookie wideout Danny Gray spoke with the media for the first time since his draft interview, as he prepared for the 49ers' rookie minicamp, which is slated to begin on Friday.

Maybe it's that football that slipped out of your grip for a running back. For a cornerback, that near-interception that bounced off your eager hands.
For a wide receiver, it's that big-play throw that you couldn't haul in.
That's what happened to Gray on Friday afternoon during the San Francisco 49ers' first practice of a three-day rookie minicamp. While others might try to push the slip-up out of their minds and focus on the next rep. Not Gray.
According to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle, the rookie wideout fell to the ground and paid penance with 10
