(670 The Score) Former Bears receiver and first-round pick Kevin White has signed with the 49ers on a one-year deal, the team announced Thursday.

The No. 7 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, White hasn't played in the league since 2018, his final year in Chicago.

White, 28, played in just 14 games over four seasons with the Bears, catching 25 passes for 285 yards. His tenure in Chicago was marred by injuries, including his rookie season in 2015 that was lost to a left tibia fracture.

White was healthy the entire 2018 season but played in just nine games and was inactive for seven. He hauled in only four catches that season.

White was cut by the Cardinals in training camp in August 2019.
