What happened: San Francisco selected the receiver No. 33 overall in the 2026 NFL draft. His first game action carried training-camp momentum into the preseason.
Why it matters: A concentrated target share gives San Francisco another option as its 2026 receiving rotation takes shape. The workload also gives coaches an early evaluation sample before roster roles are set.
By the numbers: Stribling caught 87.5% of his targets, averaging 9.0 yards per reception and 7.9 yards per target.
What to watch: His snap count and work with the starting offense will show whether the early volume translates into a regular-season role.
