The San Francisco 49ers selected Utah punter Mitch Wishnowsky with the eighth pick (No. 110 overall) in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He had a private workout with 49ers coaches during the pre-draft evaluation process.
Wishnowsky averaged 45.7 yards per punt in three seasons with the Utes.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-2 and 218-pound Wishnowsky had a 40-time of 4.63 seconds, a vertical jump of 32.5 inches, and a broad jump of 117 inches. Other measurables for Wishnowsky include an arm length of 31 1/4 inches and hands that measure 9 1/4 inches.
NFL.com projected Wishnowsky to be a fifth-round draft pick.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com wrote the following about Wishnowsky within his scouting report:
"Wishnowsky's punting style is more about control than power and once he gets into the league and eliminates the Aussie punts, we will see his hang time take a big step up. While teams might like to see a little more leg from him when it is time to flip the field, his consistency and ability to work with control as a pooch punter will be more meaningful."
Tony Pauline of Draft Analyst wrote the following about Wishnowsky within his scouting report:
"Wishnowsky has shown flashes of ability since he came over from Australia and offers great upside. He must get the ball off his foot quicker but has the size, athleticism and leg strength to play in the NFL."

An Arsenal of Weapons: The 49ers Have Quietly Become Even More Dangerous on Offense in 2024

It's not a shock to anyone who looks back at the past two NFL seasons to contemplate that the San Francisco 49ers' offense has finally stepped out of the shadow cast by the team's ever-imposing defense. Since their 2019 Super Bowl run, players like Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw, and former 49ers Richard Sherman and Jimmie Ward have garnered most of the attention when talking about the team. That was indeed the case until 2022, when future Hall-of-Fame running back Christian McCaffrey, who came to San Francisco in a mid-season trade with the Carolina Panthers, changed the conversation. The 49ers' offense was suddenly seen not just as a semi-capable complement to a sterling defense, but rather as a unit that could put up some points, and in a dramatic way.
