Former top Seattle Seahawks draft pick Dee Eskridge tries out for 49ers
Field Gulls • • sports
Key Points:
- The San Francisco 49ers are dealing with injuries at wide receiver, including concerning knee swelling for Ricky Pearsall and a calf injury for Christian Kirk, prompting them to hold tryouts for new receivers.
- Among the tryout candidates is Dee Eskridge, a former Seattle Seahawks second-round pick in 2021 who is currently a free agent after being waived by Miami Dolphins in 2024.
- Eskridge's NFL career has been hampered by injuries, including a significant concussion in 2021, and limited on-field impact, though he recorded his only NFL touchdown and longest kick return against the 49ers.
- If signed, Eskridge would join former Seahawks draft picks Tre Brown and Stone Forsythe, who also ended up with the 49ers and Carolina Panthers respectively, highlighting a trend of 2021 Seahawks draftees moving to other teams.
