Castro-Fields was a 2022 sixth-round pick out of Penn State by the 49ers, who has also spent time with Washington and Carolina. 109 of his 136 career snaps have come on special teams.

Tariq Castro-Fields Scouting Report

Perimeter cornerback with appealing size and traits for press-man, but confidence and consistency were missing from his 2021 tape. Castro-Fields’ length, strength and athleticism are likely to be viewed as moldable features by defensive back coaches.

However, he is missing the desired stickiness to the route and lacks spatial awareness and ball-hawking instincts from zone. His run support commitment is a bit disappointing relative to his size. Castro-Fields possesses the tools and versatility to operate as a backup in a variety of coverage schemes and is a middle-round value with upside traits. — NFL.com
