Stribling Could Lead Rookie Receptions | San Francisco 49ers News

ESPN is hyping De’Zhaun Stribling as the breakout rookie receiver for the 49ers, predicting he could lead all first-year wideouts in catches — a bold claim given the team’s history of struggling to develop rookies. Drafted second-round, Stribling isn’t being eased in; veterans like Trent Williams compare him favorably to Jauan Jennings, calling him faster and ready for big plays right away. While not expected to match elite rookie stats, his ceiling is high, and with Brock Purdy potentially targeting him often, Stribling’s floor looks solid — possibly enough to top the league in receptions among rookies this season.
