The 49ers originally signed Jonas Griffith as an undrafted free agent in 2020, waived him and then inked him again. So, does he play in 2021 at all?
The San Francisco 49ers made a lot of backend moves at linebacker during the offseason, including bringing aboard two veterans in Nathan Gerry and James Burgess Jr., while also signing a couple of undrafted free agents, Justin Hilliard and Elijah Sullivan.
Those four will be competing with another less-known returnee, Jonas Griffith, who initially signed with the Niners as a UDFA in 2020 out of Indiana State where he had 34 starts in 44 games over four years, recording 382 tackles, 28.
