Niners Sign 8 Undrafted Rookies

0:00On April 28th, the San Francisco 49ers just locked in 8 undrafted free agents to beef up their rookie class this season. They grabbed one tight end, one puncher, three defensive linemen, two wide receivers, and a safety. All these guys snag spots on the 90-man roster, giving them a shot to battle for the 53-man squad, or at least land on the practice squad. This undrafted group stays pretty lean without a ton of position variety, focusing heavy on the trenches. It's a classic move for a team like the Niners, always hunting diamonds in the rough, to plug gaps on defense. Fans and scouts are buzzing most about defensive linemen Mikhail Kamar from Indiana, who's all over the ball with sacks and forced fumbles in his last. Three starting seasons. Then there's James Thompson from Illinois, a massive 6-foot-6-308-pounder who could rotate in if he polishes up his game. Meanwhile, the punter Jack Balmester brings a wild Aussie rules background before shining at Texas and Utah, averaging over 43 yards A.

1:02Kick, safety. Jalen Stroman from Notre Dame might push for time too, especially with needs in the secondary, though his athleticism raises some flags. These rookies hit Kam soon, fighting to turn heads and stick around, could be the start of some real underdog stories on a stacked roster.
