The 49ers are still pursuing free agents, and based on their latest visit, are in the market for edge rusher help. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that former Detroit Lions edge rusher Austin Bryant is visiting 49ers headquarters.
Bryant, 26, was a former 4th round pick out of Clemson in the 2019 NFL Draft. The 6’6”, 280-pounder finished last season with 11 pressures on 125 pass rushing snaps, per Sports Info Solutions. Bryant had one tackle for loss and three quarterback knockdowns, but did not record a sack.
Injuries have been the story of Bryant’s career, dating back to his days in college, where he missed the first six games of his sophomore season due to a foot injury.
