Jordan Watkins

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan thinks WR Jordan Watkins is “doing solid” after observing the rookie at mandatory minicamp.

The Athletic’s Matt Barrows believes “Watkins stood out in the spring the way [Ricky] Pearsall did a year ago.” Watkins was reportedly a regular part of the receiver rotation and took a number of snaps with the first-team group. He is fast and fluid, and “doesn’t break stride when catching the ball, which makes him an asset on the crossing routes that are such a big part of Shanahan’s offense.” Watkins is a long shot to make an impact in 2024 re-draft leagues, but dynasty managers looking for upside stashes could do worse.
