The San Francisco 49ers announced that the team re-signed interior offensive lineman Tom Compton to a one-year deal. Compton appeared in seven games and started three games for the team in 2020.
Originally drafted by the Washington Football Team in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL draft, Compton has carved out a long career as a versatile blocker across the offensive line. Over his ten-season career, Compton has appeared in 106 games (37 starts), primarily at guard. While the 49ers have several young players set to compete for playing time at right guard, Compton will likely join that competition and serve as a primary backup if he makes next season’s roster.
