Niners Nation on De'Zhaun Stribling
From the article
Stribling was far and away the 49ers' most impressive player on Thursday night, hauling in seven catches for 63 yards, leading all pass-catchers... Stribling made an incredible adjustment to the ball, contorting his body to haul in the pass and keep both feet in bounds. When it was all said and done, it was a gain of 32... it was about just how high his ceiling is.
STACKED’s take
Stribling's dominant preseason debut (7 catches, 63 yards) confirms he's NFL-ready with elite ceiling.
The 49ers' first selection of the 2026 draft was 'far and away the 49ers' most impressive player on Thursday night,' hauling in seven catches for 63 yards and leading all pass-catchers. The offensive game plan was centered around Stribling, with Rourke's first pass targeting him. His third reception was 'Jauan Jennings-esque,' hanging on to a pass with a Titans defender draped all over him right at the marker for a first down. Stribling was responsible for the 49ers' longest play from scrimmage on a third-and-5 when he made an incredible adjustment to a beautiful back shoulder pass on a go route, contorting his body to haul in the pass and keep both feet in bounds for a 32-yard gain. Eight plays later, the 49ers scored their lone touchdown. The source states: 'I don't think we'll see Stribling take another snap in the preseason. We have collected all the information we need on him' and notes the conversation has shifted from 'if the 49ers reached too far for him' to 'just how high his ceiling is,' indicating he is 'NFL-ready.'
