49ers add a practice squad tight end with minimal NFL pedigree or production history. Headlines emphasize local connection rather than football credentials or proven ability. Practice squad signing signals depth depth building rather than meaningful roster upgrade. Fans view this as a camp body, not a competitive advantage move. Rucci will compete for developmental reps in San Francisco's tight end room.
