49ers will host HOF wide receiver Jerry Rice’s son for mini camp
Last week Jerry Rice Jr., failed to make the Ravens roster after their mini camp, but today CSN Bay Area announced the Niners will work out the HOFer’s son. John Harbaugh had good things to say about Junior, but he will still be a longahot to make the Niners roster.
“First of all, he’s a really good athlete,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh told CSNBaltimore.com. “He doesn’t have his dad’s size, but he sure got his athleticism. When you watch him run, he runs in a really similar way. The other thing is, he’s got that West Coast offense down. He’s probably had that playbook since he was in the cradle. He knows all the rules, the crossing routes what to do. Very good hands, very good athlete. He did a real nice job.”
