49ers sign wide receiver who played with Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall in college

The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of former Arizona State wide receiver and Atlanta Falcons draftee Frank Darby. Darby was Brandon Aiyuk’s teammate from 2018-19. The corresponding move was to waive cornerback Kemon Hall.

Darby is 6’1, 200 pounds. The Atlanta Falcons drafted him in the 2021 NFL Draft. He has two career receptions for 29 yards. He fits the mold of an experienced player the 49ers have brought in this offseason, as Darby played in the Senior Bowl ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Some will try to spin the 49ers signing of Aiyuk’s former teammate into something that it isn’t.
