Obviously Kyle Shanahan is familiar with Jacoby Jones and at some point must have believed in his talents as a receiver. Still young at 27 years old, with 5 years in the league, his primary strength has been returning punts (which adds to his overall value).

In my opinion, increased competition at the wide receiver position is important in camp to determine which receiver develops the trust and confidence of not only the Shanahans but also the new franchise quarterback (RG!!!).
