49ers select Georgia TE Charlie Woerner in sixth round of NFL Draft

With the 190th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the San Francisco selected former Georgia tight end Charlie Woerner.

Woerner had to wait until the sixth round to hear his name called, but it did come as a pleasant surprise as he was seen as a guy who could have fallen out of the draft altogether.

Woerner (6-foot-5 245 pounds) came to Georgia as a four-star tight end in the class of 2016 out of Rabun County High School in Tiger, Georgia.

From 2016-2019, Woerner caught 34 passes from Jake Fromm. He tallied 376 yards and scored his lone touchdown last season against Georgia Tech.

Other than George Kittle, the 49ers don’t have much talent at the tight end position, so Woerner could come in and compete for that TE2 spot.

Woerner is the nephew of former Georgia All-American defensive back Scott Woerner.
