University of Oklahoma. 7. 42. 49ers Introduce Brayden Willis (YouTube). Tight end . Brayden Willis. player. Pick Analysis

Brayden Willis heads to the West Coast in the 7th round. The San Francisco 49ers draft Willis with the 247th pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. Willis will be able to compete for special teams during his rookie year in San Fransisco. Current 49ers tight end George Kittle is an All-Pro tight end and just entering the prime of his career in the NFL.

Willis’ versatility and work ethic will pay dividends for him in the NFL. I see Willis earning playing time on special teams during his rookie year and eventually seeing an opportunity to make a spot on the 53-man roster.
