Editor's note: The above video is Colin Kaepernick describing the play in which he blocked for Carlos Hyde on a touchdown run Monday night
Carlos Hyde was on the 49ers' roster last year after being selected in the second round in 2014, but the Ohio State running back didn't have his coming-out party until Monday night against the Vikings.
Hyde broke out for 182 all-purpose yards and two scores, helping lead the 49ers to a surprising Week 1 victory under new head coach Jim Tomsula.
The performance caught the eyes of many, including 11-time NBA All-Star LeBron James.
