The 49ers hosted standout Canadian Football League wide receiver Eric Rogers for a workout Monday, a league source said.

Rogers, 24, led the CFL with 1,448 receiving yards, tied for the league lead in receiving touchdowns (10) and was third in receptions (87) this season with the Calgary Stampeders. Rogers is scheduled visit 11 teams and had his first workout with the Patriots on Friday, according to the Calgary Sun, which first reported Rogers’ visit in Santa Clara. CFL players can’t sign with NFL teams this season, but they can sign 2016 futures deals.

Rogers (6-3, 210), who played at Division III Cal Lutheran, is attempting to return to the NFL. He signed as an undrafted free agent by the Cowboys in 2013 and was waived after training camp. He subsequently played with the Portland Thunder of the Arena Football League. He then played two games with Calgary last year before enjoying his breakthrough 2015 season.

“I want to give myself that opportunity to see if I can work it out down south and see what happens,” Rogers recently said to the Calgary Sun. “As a kid, you always want to play at the highest level. I've already experienced it one time, so it's nothing unfamiliar. If it does happen, I'll be excited … I think I'll be better for it because I already went through it one time, so I know what to expect and what to work on.”

Last year, the 49ers had interest in at least two CFL stars: wide receiver Duron Carter and cornerback Delvin Breaux. Carter is on the Colts practice squad, while Breaux has started all 13 games for the Saints.
