One of the highlights in the San Francisco 49ers preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys was the play of rookie wide receiver Richie James. For a seventh round pick, the 49ers got some mighty fine production out of him already, and his reports during camp have been positive. It began early in the night, and ended with him catching the game-winning touchdown from Nick Mullens. It was enough to hear him a nod on Pro Football Focus’ preseason Week 1 team of the week.
The evening gave a nice glimpse of what James can bring to the table.
