The 49ers observed defensive back Alex Johnson's performance in Westwood. When asked about his interactions with NFL teams, Johnson revealed, "I'm on my way to talk with the Niners right now."
Johnson appeared in all 26 games with the Bruins over the past two seasons. His five interceptions in 2023 led the Pac-12.
According to 247Sports, the 49ers were among 20 NFL teams at the Bulldogs' Pro Day. Linebacker Levelle Bailey was among the standout participants.
Lorenzo J. Reyna states that one 49ers scout spent most of his time with Bailey.
"He was asking me what we ran as far as defensive schemes because, as you know, he was saying that their linebackers cover," Bailey said, per Reyna. "They're the best coverage linebackers in the NFL. They were saying they liked that part about my game. Scheme-wise, they're a linebacker-based team. He was saying he was going to put me through more drops (coverage), but he had already seen it on film. So, he didn't want to overwork me since I got some d-line reps too."
At his Pro Day, Penn State tackle Caedan Wallace shared that he met with all 32 teams, engaging in "really good talks" with the 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, and Miami Dolphins.
"Caedan Wallace, a four-year starter at right tackle for Penn State, says his Shrine Bowl work at guard boosted his draft stock," noted Tyler Donohue of 247Sports.
