     receiver and potential day 3 selection Hunter Renfrow of Clemson and see if he is a fit for the 49ers."Greetings Faithful! We are back with another scouting report! The final days leading up to the 2019 NFL Draft have arrived http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-deion-sanders-jersey , and with it are countless amounts of rumors, mock drafts, and quotes from teams’ front offices and coaches. If your plate isn’t full enough, we even have plenty of quotes from players both active and retired on what their respective teams should do as far as selecting players.Photo by Sean M. Haffey/Getty ImagesToday, our focus an attention turns to the receiving position. The San Francisco 49ers are most likely going to take a receiver, perhaps even two before the conclusion of the draft. There is strong belief that the 49ers will select a receiver on day two of the NFL Draft. We have discussed and analyzed multiple receivers that the team can select on day two. Today, we are going to talk about a receiver the team can have on day three. His name is Hunter Renfrow. Just like Adam Humphries before him, Renfrow has the potential to be the next great Clemson slot receiver to find success at the pro level. Let’s learn about how the once walk-on turned two-time national champion can help the 49ers.Combine Results:40 Time: 4.59Bench Press: 7 RepsVertical Jump: 35.0”Broad Jump: 116.0”3 Cone Drill: 6.8020 Yard Shuttle: 4.1960 Yard Shuttle: 11.39Measurables:Height: 5’10”Weight: 184 lbs.Hands: 7 7/8”Arms: 29 1/8”Summary:From walk-on to national title clinching touchdown reception, Hunter Renfrow seems to have done it all in his four seasons for the Clemson Tigers. While names like Trevor Lawrence, Tee Higgins, and Travis Etienne receive the bulk of the national media attention on offense, Hunter Renfrow has slowly but surely put together a truly remarkable collegiate career. Renfrow is as reliable as they come at the receiver position with strong, reliable hands, rarely dropping a pass thrown in his direction. On multiple occasions Renfrow moved the chains for the Tigers on third down conversions, particularly in third and short situations. While Renfrow is not explosive or a burner, Renfrow does have quick feet and initial burst to create separation from defenders in zone and man to man coverage schemes. Has great bend, and is one of the best low-ball receivers in the nation. Due to his lack of size, there is a limit to his catch radius and window the quarterback has available to him. However, on multiple occasions Renfrow has mad acrobatic receptions over the top.Renfrow does have a limited route-tree. Renfrow primarily lined up in the slot, which is his natural position, and where he will find the most success at the next level. Performs his best in the short and intermediate levels on the field. Was almost never asked to run deep in Clemson’s system, however when he did, he worked to get his hands on the football even in tight coverage as shown below.Vision and awareness with the ball in his possession are outstanding. Will shift and change direction, and often finds additional yards after the reception. Below, the entire South Carolina defense learns the hard way of trying to stop Renfrow after the reception.Overall, Renfrow has natural instincts when the ball is in his possession. His size and frame are going to be the biggest concern scouts and evaluators have. He is not at all a receiver who has size or plays physical. However, Renfrow plays to the level of his competition. Played his best football against Alabama in all national title games (2015, 2016, 2018) against perhaps the best defense in the nation. As far as clutch player goes, Renfrow might go down as one of the best in Clemson football history. He is also responsible for catching the biggest touchdown in Clemson history (See 2nd video below). His size and frame are a concern. However, Renfrow is a receiver who catches everything throw his way, who can shift and change direction to evade defenders, and in the right system can be dangerous at the first and second levels on the field. Renfrow can potentially be a late-round gem on the third day of the NFL Draft. Is Hunter Renfrow a fit for the 49ers?Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty ImagesKyle Shanahan is the type of coach and offensive mind that can take essentially any receiver and put them in a position to get open and succeed at all three levels on the field. The head coach alone makes Renfrow and almost any receiver in this draft a fit in an offense that desperately needs multiple playmakers. Yes, the team has Trent Taylor, however after back injuries limited him in 2018 it might not hurt the team to invest in depth at the slot position. While Renfrow is undersized http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authentic-kyle-juszczyk-jersey , what you are getting is a receiver who doesn’t drop the football, can move the chains, and can rise to the occasion when the lights are shinning their brightest. If the team is looking to address a day three pick at the position whether they use a day two pick or not, Hunter Renfrow can be a steal and late round gem for the team that selects him. Hunter Renfrow’s value is somewhere between the fifth and sixth rounds of the NFL Draft.What are YOUR thoughts on Hunter Renfrow? If the 49ers are looking to invest a day three pick in a receiver is Renfrow a good fit for the team? Please share in the comments below! SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — After a four-turnover performance last week, San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard faces quite a platform in a try for redemption.Beathard will lead his team into Lambeau Field for Monday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers, a nationally televised matchup that represents the biggest stage on which Beathard will have started an NFL game.He’ll face the No. 2 pass defense in the league while being supported by a banged-up offensive line and an injury-depleted receiving corps. The 49ers also figure to be without top running back Matt Breida, doubtful because of a badly sprained ankle.Factor in a raucous and inhospitable Lambeau crowd, and the odds appear stacked against San Francisco (1-4), which lost at home last week to the previously winless Arizona Cardinals.Beathard prefers to view it as an opportunity.“It’s definitely something to look forward to,” Beathard said. “A Monday night game, in Lambeau. Historic stadium, playing a great team. It’s everything you ask for.”A second-year quarterback out of Iowa, Beathard has made two starts in place of the injured Jimmy Garoppolo, who tore the ACL in his left knee Sept. 23 against Kansas City and is out for the season.Beathard showed promise in his first start, a 29-27 road defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers, completing 23 of 37 passes for 298 yards, despite absorbing some big hits in and out of the pocket.But in last week’s 28-18 loss to the Cardinals, Beathard was intercepted twice and lost two fumbles, one of them returned for a touchdown. That offset his two touchdown passes and career-high 349 yards through the air.Overall in two starts, Beathard has completed 57 of 91 passes (62.6 percent) for 647 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions.Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy knows the challenge a young quarterback faces in trying to fill the shoes of an injured starter. Last season, Brett Hundley endured a turbulent ride for the Packers replacing two-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers, who broke his collarbone.“I think the biggest thing with a backup quarterback and especially when he’s young — going through it last year — is his ability to keep the offense playingto the full menu of the game plan,” McCarthy said. “You look at their production and you have to say C.J. definitely does that. That’s a compliment to him but also a compliment to their coaching staff for having the young man ready.”San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan wants Beathard to show better pocket awareness, sensing where the pass rush is coming from and protecting the ball. Both of Beathard’s fumbles Sunday came on strip-sacks, and Green Bay (2-2-1) enters this weekend ranked fifth in the NFL with 16 sacks.But Beathard could benefit from better health among his offensive teammates.Left tackle Joe Staley and center Weston Richburg have been playing through knee injuries. Both missed Thursday’s practice, as did Breida, and receivers Pierre Garcon (shoulder, knee) and Trent Taylor (back). Rookie receiver Dante Pettis, the team’s best punt returner, will miss his second consecutive game with a knee injury.There was a bit of encouraging news Thursday in that receiver Marquise Goodwin — the 49ers’ best downfield threat and who starts opposite Garcon — practiced without restrictions after being limited most of the season with quadriceps and hamstring issues.Beathard was asked about matching up against Rodgers. He spoke glowingly of Rodgers, who is hobbled by a knee injury but remains a master at dissecting opposing defenses.“He’s just a baller,” Beathard said. “He’s got the quickest release, the craziest arm I’ve ever seen. It just looks like he’s throwing a Nerf ball out there.”
