The San Francisco 49ers met with University of Miami edge rusher Akheem Mesidor at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, where he expressed a strong desire to improve the team’s defensive line after a disappointing 2025 season. Mesidor, projected as a late first-round pick and noted for his relentless pass-rushing ability, had standout seasons at both West Virginia and Miami despite a foot injury limiting him in 2023. He aims to enhance the 49ers’ sack total, which was the lowest in five years. Mesidor also met with other teams, including the Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams, and described his combine experience as positive.
