Watch: 49ers UDFA Marcelino McCrary-Ball comes up with INT.

Preseason games don’t count in the standings, but they matter to players like 49ers undrafted linebacker Marcelino McCrary-Ball who are fighting for a roster spot.

McCrary-Ball made his case to stick around with the 49ers to end the first quarter when he came up with an interception off a tipped throw in the red zone. Perhaps the most impressive part of the play was the  57-yard return. Athleticism is key in the second level in the modern NFL, and McCrary-Ball has it in spades.
