Per Tom Pelissero, the 49ers have signed wide receiver Deontay Burnett to the practice squad. The team worked out other receivers on Tuesday as well, including former Ravens Jordan Lasley and Jaylen Smith.
Burnett(6’0, 186 pounds), was an undrafted free agent out of USC. He signed with the Titans and spent time with the Jets during the preseason as well. During the preseason, Burnett caught 12 of his 14 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown with the Jets. The report on Burnett coming out of college was that he was skinny, and if a defender got his hands on him, that the route was over.
