College Highlights:
A team captain at college, Mark really excelled in his senior year. Playing tight end, he was pivotal in the run game, and provided a big target for his receiver. Mark was also a solid contributor on special teams coverage units. Showed very solid hands against a game versus Michigan State.

Role With 49ers:

Injury History:
There has been no doubt cast on Anelli's medical status.
