"Thompson-Robinson has an upcoming visit with the Philadelphia Eagles and is currently visiting the Cincinnati Bengals after previously visiting the Cleveland Browns and conducting private workouts with the San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints at UCLA, according to league and athletic department sources," wrote Wilson (h/t Niners Wire for the find).
The Niners could be in the market for a rookie quarterback. The team has Brock Purdy, Trey Lance, and Sam Darnold on the roster. However, Purdy is expected to still be recovering from offseason elbow surgery until at least September. Lance is returning from two surgeries after a season-ending ankle injury in September. However, he is expected to be full-go when the 49ers take the field in May for organized team activities (OTAs).

Thompson-Robinson completed 69.6 percent of his passes for 3,169 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in his 13 starts for the Bruins in 2022, adding 645 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns, per Sports Reference. His completion percentage ranked sixth in the nation.
The 23-year-old quarterback has completed 63.3 percent of his passes for 10,710 yards, 88 touchdowns, and 36 interceptions in his five seasons at UCLA, adding 1,826 total rushing yards and 28 rushing touchdowns.
San Francisco owns 11 selections in this month's draft but lacks picks in the first, second, and fourth rounds.
Thompson-Robinson is from Las Vegas, NV. He earned a pre-draft grade of 5.69 from NFL.com, which equates to a "chance to make a roster or practice squad," per the site's 8-point grading scale.

At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-2 and 203-pound Thompson-Robinson had a 40-time of 4.56 seconds, a vertical jump of 32.5 inches, a broad jump of 121 inches, a 7.28-second three-cone drill time, and a 20-yard shuttle time of 4.44 seconds. His other measurables include an arm length of 30 5/8 inches and hands measuring 9 7/8 inches.
"Five-year starter with below-average size, above-average mobility, and a recent history of improvement at the position," wrote Lance Zierlein of NFL.com in his scouting report of the quarterback. "Thompson-Robinson played in a favorable scheme for quarterbacks, but he also improved as a field-reader over time. While he can extend plays and create opportunities for himself outside of the pocket, he's at his best when he's throwing on time and utilizing possession throws as his base. He has lapses in vision and judgment against zone and when pressured, so he must cut down on ill-advised throws. Thompson-Robinson has the potential to find a home as a QB3 with a QB2 ceiling."
