Despite their potential talent, these players were not selected by any team during the draft process. Teams then have the opportunity to sign them to contracts, typically for minimal salaries. For undrafted players, signing with a team is their entryway to the NFL. Some undrafted free agents go on to have successful NFL careers, often exceeding expectations, making the process an essential step in the offseason.
Below is a running tally of the undrafted players the team has either signed or reportedly intends to sign, listed alphabetically by last name. The 49ers will eventually make an official announcement regarding all their undrafted rookie signings.
It's worth noting that, on occasion, there are reports of signings when they are, in fact, tryouts.
