Anquan Boldin said he’d play for the Baltimore Ravens or no one. But when their Super Bowl opponents the San Francisco 49ers came calling he was forced to reconsider.
His role with his new team is going to be more important than previously though due to the ruptured Achilles tendon of wide receiver Michael Crabtree. But Colin Kaepernick should be salivating at having a reliable receiver not afraid to get balls and take hits at his disposal.
And as the the 49ers and Boldin get aquanited with one another in OTAs there are nothing but smiles all around.
“Well, very impressed,” Harbaugh told reporters on Tuesday regarding Boldin. “Today, you got a good look at what he’s been doing. Really picked up the system fast and making plays. Big catches in tight areas. You saw what we’ve been seeing for a couple of weeks now, very good.”
Harbuagh also hinted that the ball went Boldin’s direction a lot in practiced. That means he has many plays designed to get the ball in his hands and could be an indicating factor of the 49ers offense in the 2013 season.
Boldin might be a solid fantasy pick if a potent offense like the 49ers are going to feed him the ball.
