The 49ers’ preseason win Sunday over the New Orleans Saints included solid Levi’s Stadium debuts by rookies Renardo Green, Tanner Mordecai and Jacob Cowing.
San Francisco 49ers’ Jalen Graham sacks New Orleans Saints’ Spencer Rattler in the fourth quarter of their preseason game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024. SANTA CLARA – Enough fans settled into Levi’s Stadium seats, from Row 1 to the top of the sun-blinding eastside stands, to make the 49ers’ preseason win seem important enough Sunday night.
Not everyone fared well, such as wide receivers Ronnie Bell and Danny Gray, who caught 3-of-10 targets combined. Jake Moody made his first two field-goal tries, but when he missed a 51-yarder, he did so wide right enough to spark reminders of last season’s late woes.Cowing, making his 49ers’ debut, looked worthy of a fourth-round pick. He caught all three targets his way before halftime, including a 38-yard, over-the-shoulder snag at the 4-yard line.
On the 49ers’ first possession after halftime, Cowing took a handoff, outraced a defensive end to the sideline, and turned upfield for a 19-yard gain. The only pass Cowing didn’t catch came in the fourth quarter, but his effort prevented a potential pick-six of rookie quarterback Tanner Mordecai’s red zone throw. “I just got a lot more confident within my abilities within my playbook.
“Man, when I got out there , I was looking on the scoreboard and literally thinking to myself how grateful I am to be in this position. Not many guys get to do this and how lucky I am to have the opportunity,” Mordecai said. “Once we got out on the drive, we got in a little rhythm. It was so fun to get out there and play football again.”
Mordecai played last season at Wisconsin after transferring from SMU and before that Oklahoma ; he overlapped at Oklahoma with current Saints backup Spencer Rattler, whom Mordecai said he by chance latterly ran into on the sideline after a scramble out of bounds.Mitch Wishnowsky’s knee irritation prompted the 49ers to sign Harvin for preseason duty, and the way he’s performed, Pressley Harvin III is nailing his audition, be it for the 49ers or a job elsewhere in the NFL.
