The San Francisco 49ers were back on the practice field over the weekend, hosting their eight selections from the 2026 NFL draft along with several undrafted free agents for rookie minicamp. Speaking to the media for only the second time since being drafted, 49ers defensive end Romello Height expressed his anticipation about working alongside star teammate Nick Bosa.
“I can’t wait to talk to him and see how he goes about his day. See how he carries himself. I can’t wait to be around him,” Height said.
Height joins the 49ers after a collegiate career that included stops at Auburn, USC, Georgia Tech, and Texas Tech. Over 50 games, he recorded 111 tackles (27 for loss), 16.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and an interception.
Bosa, taken with the second overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft out of Ohio State, has established himself as one of the league’s premier pass rushers. Height could hardly ask for a better mentor.
With both Bosa and 2025 first-round pick Mykel Williams recovering from torn ACLs suffered last season, Height may be called upon to play a larger role than a third-round pick typically would. However, having Bosa around for guidance could help ensure Height is well-prepared for his rookie campaign.
