Summary
- Undrafted rookie WR Isaiah Neyor makes incredible catch in 49ers training camp
- Veteran TE George Kittle calls Neyor a 'freak' after seeing him in OTAs
- Neyor's college career was tumultuous, but he's making a strong impression in the NFL
The San Francisco 49ers' training camp has been filled with excitement, thanks to the emergence of undrafted rookie wide receiver Isaiah Neyor. Despite going undrafted, Neyor has all the tools to be an effective player in the NFL, and he's wasting no time in making his mark.
During the team's second day of camp, Neyor made a spectacular grab that drew praise on social media. 49ers veteran tight end George Kittle had already taken notice of Neyor's talent, calling him a 'freak' after seeing him in OTAs earlier this offseason.
Neyor's college career was a bit tumultuous, as he played for three different programs over six years. However, he still managed to haul in 87 catches for 1,595 yards and 17 touchdowns during his time in college. Now, he's looking to translate that production to the NFL level.
The challenge for Neyor will be to continue making plays like the one he did on Thursday and work his way up the depth chart. With injuries affecting the top of the 49ers' receiving corps, Neyor has a golden opportunity to earn a roster spot and prove he belongs in the NFL.
