The Niners selected Stribling 33rd overall out of Ole Miss in April, adding him to a wide receiver corps that was, and still is, conspicuously missing All-Pro Brandon Aiyuk last season. Jauan Jennings led all Niners wideouts in yards last year and left in free agency for the Minnesota Vikings. Ricky Pearsall had the second-most and is out for the season with a PCL tear.

Stribling fills critical WR void left by Jennings' departure and Pearsall's injury.

Stribling is positioned to fill a significant void in the 49ers' wide receiver room following the departure of Jauan Jennings to Minnesota and the season-ending PCL tear suffered by Ricky Pearsall (who had the second-most receiving yards last year). The Niners added veterans Mike Evans and Christian Kirk in the offseason and recently welcomed back Deebo Samuel, but finding younger blood was needed; Stribling's preseason performance suggests he could be a key contributor.
