NFL: 49ers agree on contract with RB Clayton

Associated Press

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers agreed to a contract with running back Thomas Clayton today.

Clayton, a sixth-round pick out of Kansas State, ran for 1,030 yards and seven touchdowns in his three-year career for the Wildcats. He's the sixth draft pick to have reached a deal with the 49ers.

The 49ers previously signed first-round offensive lineman Joe Staley, fourth-round linebacker Jay Moore, fourth-round safety Dashon Goldson, fourth-round defensive lineman Joe Cohen and fifth-round defensive back Tarell Brown. Three draft picks remain unsigned, including 11th overall pick linebacker Patrick Willis.
