Former British Olympian Lawrence Okoye has spent two years in San Francisco and has yet to make the 53-man roster. Okoye's development was slowed by injuries early in his career and it is unknown where he stands within the team's depth chart. Okoye was on the practice squad last year and will likely remain there unless he stands out this offseason.

Safety Craig Dahl has been solid on special teams since joining the team in 2013. However, he has yet to win a starting role in San Francisco. The seven-year veteran had 19 tackles, two defended passes and one interception last season. With the 49ers drafting safety Jaquiski Tartt, Dahl will be on the roster bubble heading into summer training camp.

Garrett Celek played only three games last season due to injuries and recorded a career-low two receptions for 53 yards. Celek is an excellent blocking tight end, but has yet to make an impact in the passing game. By the 49ers drafting two tight ends in this year's draft, it could spell the end of Celek in San Francisco.

Corey Lemonier is entering his third season with the 49ers and, so far, has not lived up to the high expectations coming out of Miami in 2013. Lemonier had a career total of 19 tackles and one sack during his two years with the organization. Since San Francisco drafted Eli Harold during the draft, Lemonier will need a strong showing this training camp or risk being cut this fall.

One of Australia's most prominent athletes has a slim chance at making the 49ers' 53-man roster this season. The 27-year-old Hayne is having a good offseason so far, however, there are some concerns the former rugby star will not be able adjust to playing in pads during training camp. Now that Bruce Ellington is back from injury and likely to resume kick returns, Hayne is looking at a very steep uphill climb in making the roster this season.
