The 49ers just might have found themselves an undrafted gem.
Former Alabama safety Jared Mayden signed with San Francisco on Saturday, reportedly amid interest from a handful of teams. If the 49ers and their competitors rated Mayden as highly as NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah, it'd be easy to see why.
Jeremiah rated Mayden as the 114th-best player in the 2020 NFL Draft class, which was the second-highest ranking among undrafted free agents.
Mayden played multiple positions in the secondary for the Crimson Tide, leading the team with four interceptions in 2019 while starting at strong safety.
