Yahoo Sports NFL on De'Zhaun Stribling
From the article
It was the guy who went off the board 29 picks later, after five other receivers... Stribling easily outshined the fourth overall pick, Carnell Tate, who was bottled up for zero catches on three targets in the three drives he played. Stribling also played three drives and hauled in seven catches for a game-high 63 yards.
STACKED’s take
Stribling outshined 4th overall pick Tate with 7 catches, 63 yards in preseason debut.
The 33rd overall pick outshined fourth overall pick Carnell Tate in their NFL debuts during the 49ers' preseason opener against Tennessee; Stribling hauled in 7 catches for 63 yards on three drives against the Titans' starting secondary, while Tate was held to zero catches on three targets. Stribling showed sticky hands and made the play of the game with a leaping 32-yard catch over a veteran cornerback. Kyle Shanahan, known for being harsh on rookie receivers, offered a small compliment: 'He seemed good. Struggled a little bit on that first drive, but he got three drives after that and executed all the stuff that went to him.' The source notes Stribling has been a standout in camp and looks like a playmaker Brock Purdy needs in a receiver room depleted by injuries to George Kittle, Christian Kirk, Mike Evans, and Ricky Pearsall.
