49ers' most intriguing UDFA could be 105-tackle former Tennessee star
The San Francisco 49ers have added several talented players this offseason, including future Hall of Famer Mike Evans. Among the undrafted free agents, Bryson Eason from Tennessee stands out as a potential key addition to the team's defense.
