Ross Dwelley had an uphill battle in 2018 to make the squad and he made the most of it. Getting cut at the initial 53-man roster, Dwelley came in when the 49ers were leaning on Cole Hikutini as their tight end prospect. Hikutini lost a practice squad bidding war to start 2018 and Dwelley was kept on the PS until October when getting activated.
He caught both passes thrown to him for 14 yards. That’s about it on his stat sheet. Clearly, Dwelley took the backseat to the George Kittle show in 2018, but Garrett Celek was nursing a broken thumb and still was seen as the No.
