Over his seven-year career with the 49ers and Falcons, Dwelley has played in 101 games with 17 starts. He has 45 receptions for 523 yards and five touchdowns. He has also appeared in seven postseason contests.
Dwelley attended the University of San Diego, where he played 47 games and had 197 catches for 2,305 yards and 26 touchdowns.
In his initial time with San Francisco, Ross Dwelley recorded 44 catches for 518 yards and five touchdowns.
He joins a tight end group that includes George Kittle, Luke Farrell, Brayden Willis, Jake Tonges, and Mason Pline.
