Tight End Je’Ron Hamm

The 49ers are pretty stacked at tight end entering 2016. The team already has Vance McDonald, Garrett Celek, Blake Bell and Bruce Miller here, as well as long-snapper Kyle Nelson.

For tight end Je’Ron Hamm to make the roster, one of the above TEs would have had to suffer an injury. Or, possibly, the Niners didn’t think Bell was developing enough after a year-plus worth of action at the pro level.

Hamm did flash some abilities during the 49ers’ 31-21 preseason victory over the Chargers.

The 24-year-old Hamm led all San Francisco receivers with four catches for 65 yards.
