Even with one of the top tight ends in the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers are reportedly looking to add more depth to the position.

According to Vincent Frank of Forbes, the 49ers have shown interest in New York Giants tight end Evan Engram to potentially back up George Kittle. The team has "sniffed around" other tight ends and will likely add at least one more this offseason.

Kittle was named a first-team All-Pro last season after totaling 85 catches for 1,053 yards, but no other San Francisco tight end had more than 100 receiving yards.
