MIAMI -- The fastest draft bust in Miami Dolphins history is bound for San Francisco.
Receiver-returner Ted Ginn Jr. was traded Friday to the 49ers.
The 49ers will send a fifth-round pick in this year's draft to Miami, a source told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen. The three-day draft begins Thursday.
Ginn Jr.
The Dolphins had him on the block even before they acquired Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall on Wednesday from the Denver Broncos.
Dolphins fans began booing Ginn the day he was drafted and never stopped. Taken with the ninth overall pick in 2007, he made only five touchdown catches in three seasons while averaging 13.0 yards per reception.
Ginn was more successful on special teams, scoring on kickoff returns of 100 and 101 yards in the same quarter of a game against the New York Jets last season. He became the first player with two kickoff returns of at least 100 yards in the same game.
