The 49ers are hosting Florida State wide receiver Auden Tate on a pre-visit Wednesday at the team’s training complex in Santa Clara, a league source told NBC Sports Bay Area.
Tate (6-foot-5, 228 pounds) declared for the NFL Draft after catching 40 passes for 548 yards and 10 touchdowns as a junior.
He finished his college career with five receptions for 84 yards and three touchdowns in a 42-13 victory over Southern Mississippi in the Independence Bowl.
