Prediction No. 1: Jerome Simpson will win the San Francisco 49ers' No. 3 wide-receiver competition during training camp.
Simpson, 29, didn’t play last season: The Minnesota Vikings cut him before he finished serving a three-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. Simpson remained unsigned until the Niners acquired him this offseason.
If Simpson doesn’t win the No. 3 wide receiver competition, he probably won’t make the final roster. He doesn’t play special teams, so as the No. 4 or No. 5 receiver he’d probably rot on the bench.
