The 23-year-old James is entering his second NFL season. The 49ers made him a seventh-round selection out of Middle Tennessee State last year. James recorded nine receptions for 130 yards with a touchdown through 13 games and two starts during his 2018 rookie campaign.
Meanwhile, Mahomes had a breakout second NFL season. He was named the Most Valuable Player, selected to the Pro Bowl, and named a first-team All-Pro as a result of his efforts in 2018. Mahomes completed 383-of-580 attempts (66.0 percent) for 5,097 yards with 50 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while starting every game for the Chiefs this past season.
