Dolphins claim Salvon Ahmed - ProFootballTalk

The Dolphins added a player to their backfield on Wednesday. Running back Salvon Ahmed has been claimed off of waivers by Miami. He was let go by the 49ers on Tuesday when they signed tight end Erik Swoope. He will be officially added to their active roster once he’s gone through COVID-19...

49ers officially add extra TE, release undrafted RB

The 49ers roster got a tweak with just a couple weeks left in training camp.

Ahmed was one of two undrafted rookie running backs the 49ers signed after the 2020 draft. In three years at the University of Washington, Ahmed posted 2,016 yards and 21 touchdowns on 353 carries. He added another 331 yards through the air on 50 receptions.

He was in the same backfield at UW with
Miles Gaskin. Tough runner with some speed.

doesn't read like he has much potential ... maybe a camp body?

 

[Jssanto]

I just read this a second ago.
My first thought was unkind- camp body.
Seems a long shot to make the team. Does he have other skills? ST?

 

[Feverdream]

I had the same thought... does he return kicks?

 

[Feverdream]

He does... but it sounds like he didn't return many of them... 20 for a 25 yard average.

Sounds like he's slated for the practice squad after he's cut... if he shows much.

If you ain’t from the state of alabama, Georgia, California, Florida or Washington, you don’t catch the eye of Chris Grier

navigates space really well...

 

[gregorygrant83]

One of those players that needed a pre-season game or two to catch coach's eye. Likely a practice squad deep depth option at this point.

 

[Jssanto]

Another point is that the practice squad is now 16 people instead of 10.

 

[circumstances]

Who did we cut? We must be at max capacity since we waived Curtis Weaver.

 

[BennySwella]

Patrick Laird's replacement?

Patrick Laird's replacement?

You misspelled kalen ballage

If you ain’t from the state of alabama, Georgia, California, Florida or Washington, you don’t catch the eye of Chris Grier

Or Texas.

But...considering five of those six states are amongst the top 10-20% in the country at producing NFL talent, I'm okay with that.
