When one thinks of the San Francisco 49ers tight ends heading into 2018, they’ll likely consider either George Kittle or Garrett Celek. Perhaps second-year pro Cole Hikutini.
Yet the Niners added another body to the fray late last year, Cole Wick.
Signed to San Francisco’s practice squad last October, the 6-foot-6 and 257-pound Wick entered the league in 2016 as an undrafted free agent after signing with the Detroit Lions. He managed to appear in six games his rookie year, logging two receptions for 18 yards. He didn’t make the Lions roster the following season, though, and the 49ers managed to grab him shortly thereafter.
