Outside looking in
Kofi Amichia
Jake Brendel
Jaryd Jones-Smith
Ray Smith
Leonard Wester
Perhaps the biggest name to watch in this group is Jones-Smith. He was an undrafted rookie in 2018, and signed with the 49ers’ practice squad in October last season. He’s listed at 6-7, 345 pounds, and got nearly a full season’s worth of work on the practice squad.
Brendel is the only player among those five with NFL experience. He spent three seasons in Miami from 2016-18, and saw action in 21 games with three starts. Every player on the 90-man has a chance to make the final roster, but these five face a particularly steep climb.
