The San Francisco 49ers worked out a former first-round NFL Draft pick wide receiver amid the NFL preseason.
The San Francisco 49ers had some open spots on the depth chart after some recent injuries, including at wide receiver. While they signed former Bears’ wideout Anthony Miller to a deal on Monday, the team was hardly finished making moves.
According to a report by the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Niners also worked out former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Corey Coleman.
Coleman starred at Baylor from 2013-2015, recording a pair of 1,000-yard campaigns.
He is a former first-round pick of the Browns back in 2016. He was in the third year when he was traded to the Bills for a 2020 seventh-round pick. However, the Bills elected to waive him coming out of the preseason.
From there, Coleman had a brief stint with the Patriots before signing on to the Giants’ practice squad. Coleman landed with the Chiefs last year before eventually being released from their practice squad.

He has also totaled 598 kick return yards and another 19 punt return yards.
Coleman’s last appearance in an official game came with the Philadelphia Stars of the USFL earlier this year.
