According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 in Houston, the San Francisco 49ers are among several teams that have expressed interest in Florida A&M wide receiver Xavier Smith ahead of next week's NFL Draft.
Smith caught 87 passes for 1,021 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns through 11 games in 2022 for the Rattlers. He hauled in 228 receptions for 2,893 yards with 25 receiving touchdowns. The receiver added a rushing touchdown in 2021 and tossed a touchdown pass in 2022.
Wilson didn't specify what kind of interest the 49ers expressed in Smith, whether it was simply communication with the receiver, a workout, a pre-draft meeting, or some combination of those.
