49ers reportedly sign UDFA Kory Sheets, RB, Purdue

Stay connected for news and updates

We've got another reported undrafted free agent signing, per KFFL.  Given the nature of these signings, these entries might be a little less involved for now.  The most recent signing is Kory Sheets, a running back out of Purdue (confirmed by Maiocco via agents).  Given the position, I'd imagine Sheets ends up as no more than a practice squad player with the 49ers this year.  Of course, some folks have major problems with Glen Coffee, so maybe people might prefer Sheets.

Here's a quick rundown of Sheets per the folks at Draft Countdown:

Strengths: Fast, quick and agile...Terrific acceleration with a burst...Patient with nice vision and instincts...Elusive and has some wiggle...Tough and runs hard...Excellent hands and a good receiver...Can contribute as a return man...Real competitive...A lot of experience...Very productive.

Weaknesses: Average size and bulk...Isn't very strong or powerful...Won't break a lot of tackles...Not a great blocker...Product of a spread offense...Poor work ethic...Durability's a big concern...Maturity has been questioned.

Over at NFL Draft Scout, ironically enough, he's ranked 1 spot lower than Glen Coffee.  After the jump, we've got a highlight reel of Sheets.
