The San Francisco 49ers are adding some depth to their wide receiver depth chart. The team is set to sign wide receiver Max McCaffrey off the Green Bay Packers practice squad, according to NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero. McCaffrey is Christian’s brother (Carolina Panthers), and the son of Ed, who spent one season with the 49ers. He stands 6’2, 196 pounds, and ran a 4.46 40 at his Pro Day.
Fooch’s update: Tex from Acme Packing Company offered some thoughts on McCaffrey.
McCaffrey is an ideal back-of-the-roster wideout, in that he is capable of playing special teams (including returning punts and kicks).
