The San Francisco 49ers have been looking for depth in the undrafted rookie free-agent market, signing offensive/special-teams ACE Jack Colletto to a deal this week.
Colletto was announced as one of the 11 initial undrafted rookies set to join the 49ers, news confirmed by the team themselves Monday. He is the lone fullback to be signed by the Red & Gold this offseason, potentially making him the backup to All-Pro Kyle Juszczyk.
There’s more to his game however, spending time at tight end, running back, linebacker, special-teams and even quarterback, along the way.
Oh my gosh, the league let the 49ers sign the next Taysom Hill for $10million cheaper!

Appearing in 42 games in college, Colletto is a rare do-it-all type-of-player that head coach Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco can utilize. It’ll be interesting to see how rookie minicamp fares starting on May 12th.
