The San Francisco 49ers drafted SMU wide receiver Danny Gray with the final pick of the third round in the 2022 NFL Draft. There’s no position the 49ers have dedicated more draft capital to than wide receiver since Kyle Shanahan became the team’s head coach. That continued on Friday when they added one of the most dynamic vertical threats in the draft.
Gray originally committed to Missouri out of high school but rerouted to Blinn College in order to meet the NCAA’s Division-1 academic requirements. After originally committing to TCU, Gray flipped to in-state rival SMU for his final two collegiate seasons.
