The 28-year-old cornerback has appeared in 87 NFL games with 28 starts across stints with the Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans and the Saints.

As San Francisco aims to retool its defense for another run at the Super Bowl in 2024, Yiadom might prove to be an invaluable addition to a secondary headlined by Charvarius Ward and Deommodore Lenoir.
