Niners Nation on Brady Boyd
From the article
the first wideout we know that the Niners are bringing in is Brady Boyd, listed at 6'1", 195 pounds. Boyd was an undrafted free agent from the 2026 NFL Draft. He put on a show at Utah State's Pro Day in March. Boyd had a 40" vertical jump with a 10-foot-10 broad jump, and ran a 4.45 40-yard dash... Boyd played 83 offensive snaps for the Jaguars, and played four snaps on special teams in the preseason. Boyd only had five targets in the preseason, catching two of them for 23 receiving yards.
STACKED’s take
Boyd's elite athleticism and route usage make him a 49ers Evans replacement candidate.
The 49ers are working out Brady Boyd, a 6'1", 195-pound undrafted free agent from the 2026 NFL Draft, as a potential Evans replacement. Boyd impressed at Utah State's Pro Day with a 40" vertical jump (tied for sixth at NFL Combine level), a 10-foot-10 broad jump (eighth at Combine level, three inches further than De'Zhaun Stribling's 11th-place mark), and a 4.45 40-yard dash. In preseason with Jacksonville, Boyd played 83 offensive snaps and four special teams snaps with five targets (two catches, 23 yards), lining up at X and running high, intermediate crossing routes to stretch the field horizontally. His first reception was a 19-yard curl route, demonstrating the speed the defense must respect. The 49ers' interest reflects their need for bigger bodies at receiver and Boyd's usage pattern aligns with what San Francisco is seeking to open up the field.
