49ers' Jacob Cowing: Impressive showing this preseason
Jacob Cowing brought in all three of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason finale against the Raiders.Cowing continued to impress this preseason with another strong showing after going for 70 combined yards against the Saints last week. The rookie fourth-rounder is making it tough for the San Francisco 49ers to keep him off the 53-man roster come the Aug. 27 deadline. Cowing has shown explosiveness with the ball in his hands, making him a tantalizing option should he find a path to playing time this season. Currently as things stand, Brandon Aiyuk remains in a contract "hold in" awaiting a trade or a new deal and Jauan Jennings (oblique) and Ricky Pearsall (shoulder) have not played this preseason while nursing injuries. This opens up a potential scenario where Cowing could find himself getting some meaningful snaps out of the gates. Those in deeper formats should take note.

49ers' Jacob Cowing: Shines in second preseason game
Jacob Cowing caught four of five targets for 51 yards and took a carry for 19 yards in Sunday's 16-10 preseason win over the Saints.Cowing got extensive playing time in the second and third quarters, highlighted by a 39-yard gain on a deep pass down the sideline shortly before halftime. Four of his five touches produced first downs, with the fifth being a five-yard loss on a screen pass where he unsuccessfully reversed field on a blown-up play. It was a nice performance, but the rookie fourth-round pick probably won't get much playing time early in the season even if the Niners fail to work out a contract with Brandon Aiyuk.

49ers' Jacob Cowing: Back from hamstring injury
Jacob Cowing (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.Cowing's return to practice is timely, given that fellow rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall re-aggravated the shoulder injury Tuesday that forced him to start training camp on the active/NFI list. With trade rumors circulating around Brandon Aiyuk and injuries piling up for the San Francisco 49ers, Cowing has an opportunity to earn more reps on offense and on special teams as a kick returner.

49ers' Jacob Cowing: Surprise pick in San Fran
The San Francisco 49ers selected Jacob Cowing in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 135th overall.San Francisco is raising some eyebrows with its draft thus far, making Cowing its second receiver pick in the first four rounds. As the roster's currently constructed, Cowing is effectively blocked from seeing the field, but some movement could change that outlook. As a player, Cowing is best described as an undersized playmaker at 5-foot-8, 168 pounds with 4.38 speed and strong college production. Cowing starred at UTEP with 1,354 yards and seven touchdowns in 2021, which put him on the Power 5 radar. He transferred to Arizona, where he caught 20 touchdowns and recorded nearly 2,000 receiving yards over two seasons. The Tank Dell comparisons will follow him as a small and dynamic player out of the slot, but it will take time for him to live up to that in San Francisco as it stands.
