The 49ers signed 25-year-old Ray-Ray McCloud to a two-year contract this offseason. With Jauan Jennings making a name for himself down the stretch and the Niners drafting a wide receiver in the third round, determining what role McCloud will have this upcoming season is tricky.
The former sixth-round pick out of Clemson spent a season with Buffalo, then with Carolina, before landing with Pittsburgh during the past two seasons. McCloud went from five total catches in his first two seasons to 20 in 2020 before having a career-high 39 receptions last year. McCloud’s target share tripled from 2020 to 2021.
