    The Atlanta Falcons moved on from Cordarrelle Patterson over the offseason, replacing him with another versatile weapon in former 49ers wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud .

    The 27-year-old has done a bit of everything in his career, from returning kicks to playing running back. Plus, McCloud is a truly elite athlete. If you don’t believe me, there’s video proof. The former Clemson standout posted a video of himself doing 100m hurdles on social media.

    As you can see below, McCloud easily clears about 60 consecutive hurdles before he starts to slow down:

    McCloud was selected in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL draft by the Buffalo Bills. After spending a year in Buffalo, McCloud played two seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers before joining the 49ers from 2022-2023.

    Over 77 career games, McCloud has racked up 90 catches for 768 receiving yards and one touchdown. He has 15 career rushing attempts for 192 yards and a touchdown. McCloud is also an experienced kick and punt returner.

    Since 2018, he has returned 138 punts for 1,326 yards, with another 2,438 yards gained on 108 career kick returns.
