Kendrick Bourne quickly has become a fan-favorite in the Bay Area ever since the 49ers signed the undrafted free agent out of Eastern Washington University in 2017. On Sunday, he showed how he can be a voice off the field as well.
The 24-year-old receiver spoke at a Black Lives Matter rally and shouted out former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick as he took a knee.
"I might be the one that makes other players put their selves out there," Bourne said. "... I love the Bay, so all the protests that are going on everywhere, keep it up, stay strong.
