McPherson (5-11, 185) connected on 17 of his 22 field-goal attempts through 11 games as a junior this past season. He made all 52 of his extra-point attempts. As Melo stated, McPherson made 85 percent of his field-goal attempts in his three seasons with the Gators and is considered the best kicker in the draft.
San Francisco has 38-year-old veteran Robbie Gould as its kicker. He signed a two-year, $7.25 million extension with the 49ers in December, keeping him under contract with the team through the 2022 season.
