When it comes to jaw-dropping athletic potential, the San Francisco 49ers might have just discovered their next hidden gem. Isaiah Neyor, an undrafted wide receiver, is turning heads and dropping jaws during OTA workouts - and he’s got none other than George Kittle singing his praises.

A “Freak” in the Making

Standing at an impressive 6-foot-4 and weighing 218 pounds, Neyor isn’t your average rookie. With a backstory that includes playing for Wyoming, Texas, and most recently Nebraska, this 24-year-old athlete has been quietly building a reputation for explosive performance.

Breaking Ankles and Minds

Kittle, known for his own athletic prowess, was stunned by Neyor’s route-running skills. “I watched him, he was running a route and he got like 9 1/2 yards in two strides,” Kittle shared. The tight end was so impressed that he and his teammates watched the clip repeatedly, utterly mesmerized.

The Purdy Parallel

Remember how the 49ers turned Brock Purdy from Mr. Irrelevant to a starting quarterback? Neyor might be following a similar underdog trajectory. With his combine performance - including a 4.4 40-yard dash and 38-inch vertical - he’s proving that talent can’t always be measured by draft position.

Whether Neyor makes the main roster or practice squad, one thing’s clear: he’s a name 49ers fans should definitely keep on their radar.
