SANTA CLARA – Here’s who stood out to me at the 49ers rookie mini camp.
THE GOOD
1. WR Richie James. You could tell right away last year during rookie minicamp that Trent Taylor and Kendrick Bourne would make the team. They made rookie mini camp seem easy. And that’s what Richie James did today. None of the 49ers corners could cover him. He got open at will. And he was fearless catching passes over the middle, unlike Dante Pettis. More on him below.
2. CB Tarvarus McFadden. McFadden was by far the most aggressive cornerback in bump-and-run coverage.
