Goldmine

• Even before draft night, Cowing was a fan of the 49ers. "Growing up playing football, the 49ers were always one of my dream teams when watching the NFL," Cowing said. "This is kind of just a full circle moment. Fulfilling my dreams, being picked up by one of my dream teams." Cowing spent his childhood looking up to the best receivers in the game, including 49ers legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice.
