This morning the Patriots dealt Jordan Devey to the 49ers for Asante Cleveland. Here are five things to know about the second-year tight end:
- Cleveland was undrafted in 2014
The tight end boasts a 6-foot-5, 260 lb. frame, but was unable to put it all together during his time at the University of Miami. As a result, his name wasn't called on draft day. San Francisco signed him as a free agent the following May, and he had a productive training camp.
-He made the 49ers practice squad, and then active roster as a rookie
At the conclusion of the 2014 preseason, San Francisco released Cleveland, and signed him to their practice squad a day later.
