SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? Ted Ginn Jr. could only watch the NFC championship with a bum knee, seeing Mario Manningham catch a key touchdown pass for the New York Giants and his replacement punt returner for San Francisco botch two returns that ultimately led to the 49ers' loss. The 49ers signed Ginn to a one-year deal Thursday hours after officially announcing the addition of Manningham with a two-year contract. Williams and Ginn are part of a much-improved group of receivers from the unit last season that had only player, Crabtree, catch more than 20 passes in the regular season. Manningham agreed to the deal last Saturday when the 49ers were in the thick of the race to sign Peyton Manning, the four-time NFL MVP and older brother of Manningham's former quarterback with the Giants ? two-time Super Bowl winner Eli Manning. The 49ers' defense was one of the best last season and played a big part in the team's 13-3 record and trip to the NFC title game. Manningham has 160 catches for 2,315 yards and 18 touchdowns in his four-year career after being drafted out of Michigan in the third round in 2008. Manningham took off in the postseason, catching TD passes in wins over Atlanta and Green Bay to get New York to the NFC title game. Having played the Niners in both the regular season and playoffs this past season, Manningham knows how good San Francisco is on defense.
