Jacob Cowing

Jacob Cowing, though lacking in size at under 5-foot-9 and 168 pounds, compensates with exceptional speed, agility, and precise route-running, making him a constant threat on the field. With a career dominator rating of 32%, Cowing's dominance at Arizona and UTEP is undeniable, highlighted by elite single-season marks of 42% and 41% in 2020 and 2021 respectively. Despite concerns about his size, his senior year showcased his ability to stretch the field and create after the catch, amassing 89 receptions for 868 yards and 13 touchdowns. While a Senior Bowl injury may have dampened his stock, Cowing's K.J. Hamler-esque profile and sub-4.4 speed make him an intriguing prospect, particularly in a Kyle Shanahan-style offense like the one in San Francisco, where undersized receivers have thrived before.

The San Francisco 49ers have selected WR Jacob Cowing with the No. 135 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Cowing transferred from UTEP to Arizona where he exploded. He set career-highs in receptions (90) and touchdowns (13) last season after a 1,000 yard campaign two years ago. He'll look to earn a role in the 49ers offense out of training camp.
