Early life and college career

Alfredo Gutiérrez Urías[1] was born in Tijuana, Mexico, on December 29, 1995.[2] He attended Montgomery High School in San Diego.[3] He attended Grossmont College in El Cajon in early 2015, but when his NCAA eligibility process became stalled, he transferred to the Monterrey Institute of Technology where he played college football on a full scholarship[3] and won the ONEFA National Championship in 2019.[2][4]

Professional career

Gutiérrez was assigned to the San Francisco 49ers roaster on May 4, 2021, as a part of the NFL's International Player Pathway Program (IPPP).[3][4] He was waived by the 49ers on August 31, 2021, when the team announced its final 53-man roster for the 2021 season.[5] He was resigned to the practice squad, due to an IPPP exemption allowing the 49ers to have an extra practice squad member, however, he was ineligible to be activated to the main roster.[6][7][8]

On February 2, 2022, Gutiérrez was one of eleven players who signed a reserve/futures contract with the 49ers.[9] He played in his first NFL game on August 20, 2022, during week 2 of the 2022 preseason in a 17–7 victory against the Minnesota Vikings. Head coach Kyle Shanahan awarded Gutiérrez the game ball to celebrate his NFL debut.[10][11] He was waived on August 30, 2022, and signed to the practice squad the next day.[12][13]

Personal life

On 26 September 2022, one day before an international friendly match between the Mexico and Colombia national teams in Levi's Stadium, Gutiérrez was invited by the Mexico national team to trade jerseys with Mexican players Guillermo Ochoa and Andrés Guardado.[14]
