Reportedly, the San Francisco 49ers used their sixth-round selection to sign a rookie contract.
After ranking 21st in PFF’s offensive line rankings going into the offseason, the San Francisco 49ers needed to improve. Particularly, RG had trouble for the whole of the season. Prior to missing three of their final seven regular-season games due to a knee injury, Spencer Burford started the first ten games. Burford was replaced by Jon Feliciano, who started four games at wide receiver at the conclusion of the regular season and all of the postseason games. In the Divisional Round, he played 54 out of 64 snaps, in the NFC Championship Game, 66 out of 66, and in the Super Bowl, he played 31 out of 75 snaps.
In an attempt to strengthen their interior, the San Francisco 49ers selected a guard in the sixth round, re-signed Feliciano, and selected Dominick Puni in the third round. In the sixth round, the San Francisco 49ers selected a guard.
In the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 215th overall, the 49ers selected Jarrett Kingston. His rookie contract was signed by him. Jarrett Kingston committed to a rookie deal.
He agreed to a $4.16 million, four-year rookie deal that included a $138,000 signing bonus. The previous season, he lived in Southern California. Jarrett Kingston played for the USC Trojans during the 2023 campaign.
Kingston transferred to the Trojans for the 2023 season after playing for the Cougars for the first five seasons of his collegiate career. In2023, Kingston participated in 12 games with 11 starts (six at RG and five at RT). He also had a 64.0 run block grade, a 77.7 pass block grade, a 68.7 PFF grade, 17 pressures, 12 hurries, one hit, and four sacks allowed.
Lance Zierlein reported on Jarrett Kingston’s scouting. NFL Network’s Lance Zierlein conducted a scouting report on Kingston. “Offensive lineman has the play strength, tenacity, and skill to play guard, but his length and size may hinder it. With a firm posture and fast hand strikes, Kingston has been well-trained in pass protection. However, he may struggle if he is required to cover both gaps against an athletic rusher when he is stranded on an island.
He does a commendable job of maintaining run blocks for as long as possible and is capable of creating zone-scheme blocks. Even though Kingston has never played center in an NCAA game, his NFL prospects may depend on how well he can snap and shift to the position.
