Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett to Visit 49ers


Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett will visit the San Francisco 49ers on April 11-12, Matthew Barrows of The Sacramento Bee reports.

The 49ers have the seventh overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, and are one of the many teams in search of a quarterback for the future. A Top 10 pick might be a bit early to pick Mallett, who could be an option if the 49ers move back in the first or trade up in the second round during the draft.

Mallett (6-7, 253) began his college career at the University of Michigan, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh's alma mater, before transferring to Arkansas in 2008. A two-year starter for the Razorbacks, Mallett completed 60.3% of his 814 pass attempts for 7,496 yards with 62 touchdowns and 19 interceptions.

In addition to the 49ers, Mallett has or is scheduled to work out for/visit with the Carolina Panthers, Miami Dolphins, Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings, and Seattle Seahawks.
