Field Yates of ESPN reports that the 49ers brought in left-footed punter Brad Wing for a workout to simulate Dustin Colquitt of the Chiefs.
Teams will bring in left-footed punters throughout the year and leading up to games against teams that happen to have left-footed punters so they can use to the spin of the ball.
Wing, 29, originally signed on with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent out of LSU back in 2013. He later caught on with the Steelers in January of 2014 before later being traded to the Giants in return for a 2016 conditional seventh-round pick.
Wing was entering the third year of his four-year, $7.05 million contract when the Giants released him in March of 2018.
In 2017, Wing appeared in all 16 games for the Giants and totaled 3,741 yards on 95 attempts (39.37 YPA) to go along with nine touchbacks.
