The San Francisco 49ers signed undrafted rookie wide receiver Wesley Grimes to a three-year, $3.11 million contract, recognizing his potential with a 35-inch vertical and a 4.35 40-yard dash at NC State’s Pro Day. At 6’2″ and 193 pounds, Grimes possesses a height-weight-speed combination that could enhance the team’s receiving corps, especially as they move on from older players like Malik Turner. His college performance, marked by efficiency on in-breaking routes and yards after the catch, aligns with the 49ers’ offensive needs. While he may not become a WR1, Grimes has the tools to contribute effectively in the NFL.
