Was KD Cannon not draft worthy?

I just noticed the 49ers just signed him in free agency. I could have sworn he was a solid threat for Baylor. Was it off the field shit? I thin he had over 3000 yards in a 3 years career.

Surprised me a bit, thought he would have gotton picked up. At one time he was a hot commodity. Guess being at r*pe U had an effect.

Lot of good receivers didn't get drafted. Cannon, Noil, Seals-Jones, Artavis Scott.

Didn't all those guys leave early too? I know Scott did. Also, Travis Rudolph wasn't drafted either.

Yeah. Surprised there were some really good WR's that didnt get drafted. Cannon was a total diva though. Never seen someone talk so much shit week after week while still getting their ass kicked. Kinda common at that position though.

You have to be able to run the full route tree in the NFL. Many of these guys came from spread offenses, where they ran limited routes.

They are put thru workouts at the combine and privately by NFL teams and some guys struggle with the added routes they need to learn.

Cannon was a guy I was hoping the Lions would take a flier on in the 7th round as they need a deep threat, but obviously he must have issues with his route running.

All the guys that didn't get drafted......well shouldn't have been.

KD Cannon was paid to go to Baylor, and left before the NCAA caught up to him. Talented, but a knucklehead.
RSJ - bad knees, slow, not great route running......if he can block he MIGHT be able to convert to TE
Noil - another guy with no brains. Not as fast as you think either, ran a 4.7......so far as I've seen he hasn't picked up a FA deal, probably headed to canada

His attitude sucked so the 49ers sent him straight home, probably why he went undrafted as well. Too bad. He's a really good player.
