"We like our [tight end] group and there's some competition there," head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on June 4, "but having the opportunity, at this point in the season, to be able to add a veteran like Logan, with his skill set and be able to get him in here to come compete and him being ready for it, was something we were kind of pumped to pull off at this time.
"We're just gonna have him watch this week because he just got here today, and we'll give him a chance to come in into training camp and compete with those guys."
Thomas participated in Tight End University (TEU) last week, an annual summit for the position group co-founded by George Kittle. Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area caught up with Thomas at TEU and asked what makes Kittle such a dynamic player on the football field.
"It's his intensity," Thomas responded. "He brings intensity to his run-blocking, brings intensity to his pass-blocking after the catch. He's just a full, complete, dynamic tight end. And I think if you ask any tight end, everybody wants to be like that because he's the complete package."
"He's great," Thomas shared. "He's always locked in. It's my first time out there with him, but he seems to be intense and be on his Ps and Qs, and that's what you want most out of your quarterback."
Purdy, only 24 years old, has already played a lot of football since being drafted with the last overall pick in 2022. He has been to two NFC Championship Games and a Super Bowl, proving to be a great leader on the field.
"He's played a lot of football," Thomas noted. "He understands what he wants, and he understands what it's supposed to look like. So for him to assert himself in that way, that's what's going to make the team that much better."
Thomas is eager to get to training camp, saying, "I'm looking forward to just getting to know everybody, earning a spot on the team, and getting into the season and start playing some games because the last couple years for me have been up and down. But I'm excited to be a part of something that could be really big."
