The San Francisco 49ers announced on Friday they have signed CB Quinten Rollins to a one-year deal. In order to make room on the roster, the team waived/injured CB Greg Mabin.
Rollins (5-11, 195) was originally drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the second round (62nd overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft.

A 27-year-old native of Wilmington, OH, Rollins attended Miami (Ohio) University where he registered 72 tackles, nine passes defensed, seven interceptions (one returned for a touchdown) and one forced fumble as a senior in 2014.
