NFL Network is running segments this offseason focusing on players to watch for each team. Earlier this week, they got around to the San Francisco 49ers, and they said Carlos Hyde is the guy to watch in 2017.
The big point of emphasis in the video was whether or not Hyde can stay healthy this season. He is a big bruising back, but he has inflicted plenty of damage on his own body as much as others. He started seven games in 2015, and 13 games in 2016. It was certainly an improvement last season, but the issue remains a concern.
