The SF 49ers have long been searching for a No. 2 tight end to complement George Kittle, and the 2021 NFL Draft has intriguing options.

Another offseason for the SF 49ers, and we have yet another time when head coach Kyle Shanahan could be seeking some added tight end depth behind the All-Pro, George Kittle.

Last year, the Niners’ search included now-Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper, although San Francisco eventually settled with drafting former Georgia tight end Charlie Woerner before a late-offseason addition of the veteran, Jordan Reed.
