The San Francisco 49ers is adding a familiar face to the reception body.
Veteran Mohamed Sanu will return to the club for a second pass after agreeing to a one-year contract, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Saturday, according to Sanu’s agent Mike McCartney.
After a disappointing 2019 campaign, Sanu signed with the 49ers in September. The 31-year-old appeared in three games for the club in 2020, securing his only target for nine yards. He was released in early October.
Sanu joined the Lions training team in November and found out that his was on the active roster at the end of the month. Sanu assembled a decent period of seven games as a member of Detroit’s struggling attack, collecting 16 receptions (23 targets) for 178 yards and a touchdown.
A choice of Rutgers in the third round of 2012, Sanu experienced his share of ups and downs during his NFL career. Perhaps a second attempt with the 49ers, which needs some additional help with the slot machine, will get him back on track.
