NFL: 49ers sign sixth-round draft pick

Associated Press

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers signed receiver Josh Morgan today, getting the first of their six draft picks under contract.

The 49ers took Morgan in the sixth round after his four-year career at Virginia Tech. Morgan led the Hokies last season with 46 catches for 552 yards and five touchdowns.

San Francisco still is working on a deal with first-round pick Kentwan Balmer, a defensive lineman from North Carolina.
