Niners Nation on Jacob Cowing

Cowing's 83-yard punt return sealed roster spot; untapped potential as receiver on timing/vertical routes.

Cowing's 83-yard punt return sealed the deal on the competition for the roster. He had another big kickoff return that was negated. Cowing had enough speed to reverse field on two returns and beat the defense to the other side. 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.' The source notes there's still some untapped potential as a wide receiver; his frame means the margin for error isn't great, but Cowing could help with timing routes, screens, and vertical routes.
