Niner Noise’s “Who Is?” series on 49ers players looks at seldom-discussed wide receiver Chris Thompson who hasn’t been much of a factor during his career.
On one hand, the San Francisco 49ers seem to like veteran wide receiver Chris Thompson, who joined the league back in 2017 as an undrafted free-agent signing of the Houston Texans. After all, the Niners signed and re-signed him a total of four times between 2019 and 2020.
Thompson provided a minor impact with the Texans his rookie year, catching five passes for 84 yards over 13 games played and serving a substantial role on special teams as both a kick and punt returner.
