The San Francisco 49ers have hired former NFL wide receiver Bobby Engram as an offensive assistant coach, reports Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. Engram will work primarily with the 49ers' wide receivers. Engram, 37, was a second-round pick (52nd overall) out of Penn State by the Chicago Bears in 1996. After five seasons with the Bears, including a 2000 season shortened by a serious knee injury, Engram was signed by the Seattle Seahawks. In Seattle, Engram would start 67 of 109 games over 8 seasons, becoming one of head coach Mike Holmgren's favorite players, and a preferred target of quarterback Matthew Hasselbeck.
