49ers Morning Report: Re-Signing Ronald Blair III, Draft Predictions and Daniel Brunskill's Journey to the NFL

[Sourdough Sam]

Monday marked the first day NFL teams could sign players from the XFL, which recently announced the cancellation of its inaugural season after five weeks due to COVID-19. While players were not able to finish their 10-week season, following exit physicals, they will be able to sign onto NFL rosters. During the Combine, John Lynch said that the 49ers would do their due diligence scouting players from the XFL as the team has already had success bringing in players from alternative football leagues. Originally from the now-defunct San Diego Fleet, Daniel Brunskill stepped into the lineup as Joe Staley and Mike McGlinchey battled through injuries in 2019. During his first season with the 49ers, Brunskill started seven games and appeared in all three of San Francisco's postseason contests. Read more about Brunskill's journey to the NFL here.
