Perry thrilled about following Jerry Rice

Missouri wide receiver Jared Perry sounds pretty amped to be headed to SF for 49ers’ minicamp. He told the Galveston County Daily News that he idolized Jerry Rice as a kid and showed his devotion by wearing a Niners jacket in the wilds of Gulf Coast Texas.

Kia is 6-4, 290 with fairly long arms, and he looks like a total bad ass with an island motif painted on his face in eye-black.

Another undrafted FA: Alonzo Durham

Just heard about another undrafted free agent expected to be in Santa Clara this weekend.

Blount going to Titans, not 49ers

The 49ers’ first minicamp of 2010 just got a little less interesting. As you may have heard, Oregon running back LaGarrette Blount, better known for one punch than for 1,084 rushing yards, decided against signing with the Niners and instead agreed to terms with Tennessee.
