Signed just before the start of the 2012 season and was on the active roster all year but only appeared in eight games mostly on special teams. Did play some offensive snaps in the road loss to New Orleans. Was not offered a contract after the season and wound up continuing his NFL career with the Steelers. Was originally a 2008 4th round pick for San Francisco and spent his first two seasons with the 49ers appearing in one game in 2009.
