Former Georgia Tech wide receiver DeAndre Smelter might be making an NFL impact earlier than most people expect. Even though Smelter underwent knee surgery to repair a torn ACL last December, it sounds like the San Francisco 49ers are trying to get him on the field as soon as possible, according to Ken Sugiura of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"It’s a situation where he may not be ready for training camp, but he may be ready at some point in the immediate future after that," 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
