According to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network, the San Francisco 49ers will host SMU wide receiver Danny Gray next week. Gray is making his NFL rounds. The incoming rookie visited with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday, the Minnesota Vikings on Wednesday, and also has meetings scheduled with the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts.

Gray registered 49 receptions for 803 yards and nine touchdowns through 10 game appearances as a senior in 2021, per Sports Reference. He caught 82 passes for 1,251 yards with 13 touchdowns through his two seasons with the Mustangs after transferring from Blinn College in Texas.

At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 5' 11 7/8" and 186-pound Gray had a 40-time of 4.33 seconds, a vertical jump of 34 inches, and a broad jump of 126 inches. Gray's other measurables include an arm length of 31 7/8 inches and hands measuring 9 5/8 inches.

"Two-year starter on the FBS level with athleticism and play speed to project a continuing ascent at the next level," wrote Lance Zierlein in his draft profile for NFL.com. "Gray stepped into a top playmaking role for SMU in 2021 and showed an ability to work all three levels of the field. His long, gliding strides separate from coverage on attack-oriented routes but he has the bend and agility to become a quality target working underneath. He needs to get a little stronger and limit the focus drops, but Gray has an inside/outside skill set with intriguing upside as a future WR3 with more work."
