The 49ers’ running back situation is one of the NFL’s most peculiar. Despite not rostering a top-25 running back in terms of yards, they churned out the second-most rushing yards in the NFL.
This offseason saw one small change at the position with a trade on Day 3 of the draft that sent Matt Breida to Miami. Other than that and two undrafted rookies, the 49ers will have a similar group of running backs to the one they had a year ago.
Chris Biderman of the Sacramento Bee and Kyle Madson run through the 49ers’ running back depth chart by looking at who the ‘starter’ is, Raheem Mostert’s expanded role, Jerick McKinnon’s stock, and how undrafted rookie JaMycal Hasty could play a big role in his first year.
