Kendrick Bourne left the 49ers this offseason after carving out a nice four-year career in San Francisco. The club has had a difficult time replacing him this offseason, but they almost had to replace him much sooner.
Bourne, an undrafted rookie in 2017, played sparingly in his first year. He caught 16 balls for 257 yards in 11 games for a bad 49ers club. He broke out in his second year thanks in part to some injuries ahead of him on the depth chart. It turns out those injuries were the only reason he made the team in the first place.
