Cornerback Blessuan Austin met with the San Francisco 49ers, New York Giants, and Detroit Lions on Friday after having dinner with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night, according to Tony Pauline of Draft Analyst.
Austin's 2018 season ended early after he decided to undergo a second surgery to repair an ACL initially injured during the 2017 season.
Despite not yet being at 100 percent, "Austin timed 4.67 seconds in the 40 while also touching 35.5 inches in the vertical jump and 10-feet-3 in the broad jump," reports Pauline.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-1 and 198-pound Austin had 15 reps in the bench press. Other measurables for Austin include an arm length of 32 1/2 inches and hands that measure 10 inches.
Pauline adds, "Austin hopes to run for scouts the week prior to the draft when he'll be closer to 100%."
The 49ers, along with the Atlanta Falcons, also met with linebacker Deonte Roberts.
"Deonte Roberts, a sleeper at the linebacker position, measured 6-1 and 230 pounds, completed 17 reps on the bench and touched 33.5 inches in the vertical jump," writes Pauline. "His best 40 mark came in at 4.64 seconds and his three-cone timed 7.06 seconds."
