Yahoo Sports NFL on Jacob Cowing

Cowing's 83-yard punt return and special teams speed likely secure roster spot.

The source identifies Cowing as a winner, noting Kyle Shanahan smirked when asked if Cowing would be the punt returner and said, "Not yet, but I like that he's making it easier." Cowing's 83-yard return sealed the deal on the competition; he had another big kickoff return that was negated. The source notes Cowing had enough speed to reverse field on two returns and beat the defense to the other side. The source also identifies untapped potential as a wide receiver, noting his frame means the margin for error isn't great, but he could help with timing routes, screens, and vertical routes.
