Offensive Lineman Alex Balducci

Rookie UDFA Alex Balducci is another player the 49ers hope to develop on the practice squad.

Balducci, a former University of Oregon product, converted over from the defensive side to the offensive line.

And head coach Chip Kelly had some good things to say about Balducci’s efforts in the move.

San Francisco will hope Balducci continues to develop following the position switch and emerges as a solid backup piece in the 49ers future.
