Breslin

Breslin was signed as a UDFA out of USC. He missed nine games with hip issues as a senior and will go on to injured reserve, where he’ll “redshirt.” The 49ers are the kings of the “redshirt.” San Francisco signed camp bodies OLB Chase Thomas and TE Kevin Greene as 90-man roster replacements.

Breslin (6-foot-1 1/8, 250) played end as a junior before converting to outside linebacker in USC’s 3-4 as a senior, managing 8.0 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks while missing nine games due to hip problems. He had the hip repaired surgically last November and clocked wide-ranging forty times of 4.75 and 4.95 at the Trojans’ Pro Day. Breslin does have plus athleticism (35.5-inch vertical) and was a high-impact pass rusher as a junior, registering 13 sacks. If Breslin can kick the injury bug, he could be a decent NFL edge presence.
