The decision was notable given Stanford's proximity, making it one of the easiest scouting stops for Lynch each offseason. However, while the Cardinal's draft prospects worked out in front of NFL evaluators on Wednesday, Lynch was noticeably absent.
Instead, Lynch chose to attend Georgia's pro day, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
The move could signal where the 49ers may be focusing their attention ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Georgia is loaded with top-tier talent, including offensive tackle Monroe Freeling—though Freeling is widely projected as an early selection and may not be available when San Francisco picks at No. 27 overall.
The Bulldogs also feature other intriguing prospects, such as linebacker CJ Allen and defensive tackle Christen Miller—both potential fits for teams seeking defensive upgrades.
With the 2026 NFL Draft set to begin on April 23 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Lynch's presence in Athens could factor into projections as the selection process approaches.
