SANTA CLARA -- Add cornerback Will Redmond to the parade of 49ers draft picks since 2013 who've come off an anterior cruciate ligament tear.
Unlike those predecessors, Redmond will be ready to play as a rookie, general manager Trent Baalke insisted Friday night after using a third-round pick on the Mississippi State product."We're very comfortable with where he's at and very comfortable that he'll be ready to go come training camp," Baalke said.Redmond injured his right knee during an October practice. Had he been healthy to run the 40-yard dash at February's scouting combine, Redmond claimed he would have run in the low 4.
