Why 49ers undrafted cornerback Tarvarus McFadden will make the team in 2018

Florida State cornerback Tarvarus McFadden never heard his name announced throughout the entire 2018 NFL Draft. As an undrafted free agent, McFadden signed with the San Francisco 49ers to compete for a roster spot in the secondary.

McFadden’s contract guarantees him a $90K salary for the 2018 season, according to NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero.

The 6-foot-2 and 204-pound defensive back is currently one of the 49ers’ most heralded undrafted rookies. Projected to be a late-round draft choice, McFadden continuously fell down the draft board and did not receive a call until San Francisco reached out and expressed interest.
