This 49ers sleeper could steal a key roster spot at training camp

Heading into training camp, the San Francisco 49ers are barren at wide receiver. What was once a strength is now a glaring hole on the roster. Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall are both set to begin training camp on the active/physically unable to perform list.

That leaves a receiver room made up of a disgruntled Jauan Jennings and, well, not much else.

While that may be enough to send some fans into panic mode, it brings a unique opportunity for some lesser-known 49ers receivers in training camp. With the top names sidelined for the time being, one underrated player has the chance to steal a roster spot in the coming weeks.
