The San Francisco 49ers traded out of the first round of the 2026 NFL draft and ended up taking Ole Miss wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling with the first pick on Day 2, and while the pick was widely questioned, he's looked great in training camp.
In his first preseason game, Stribling continued to build on what he's done in practice, catching several passes in the first two quarters against the Tennessee Titans, including a remarkable 32-yard reception down the right sideline.
De'Zhaun Stribling is living up to all the hype!

Stribling is one of the only potential starters playing in this preseason game for the 49ers, and this catch should be all he needs to show in a meaningless game.
