Vann to join 49ers

FAMU kick return ace LeRoy Vann will wear the San Francisco 49ers uniform next year.

Vann’s agent, Karim Lawrence, told the San Francisco Press Democrat that Vann has agreed to terms with the 49ers organization.

49ers Head Coach Mike Singletary personally observed Vann’s workout at FAMU’s Pro Day in Tallahassee and, according to Lawrence, “came away impressed.”

Press Democrat sports reporter Matt Maiocco commented, “Vann (5-8, 188) can also play cornerback, but his value to the 49ers is as a return man. He could have a very good opportunity to win a roster spot and be a contributor in the return game.”
