Tevin Coleman joins former Falcons OC Kyle Shanahan with 49ers

The Atlanta Falcons will see one of their main offensive playmakers of the last few seasons head out to the West Coast.

Running back Tevin Coleman has reached an agreement to rejoin Kyle Shanahan with the San Francisco 49ers, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Schefter elaborated on the move.

49ers’ HC Kyle Shanahan coached RB Tevin Coleman in Atlanta, and has long admired and respected his work. Now Coleman, Matt Breida and Jerick McKinnon give the 49ers the type of 1-2-3 punch many teams seek.

Shanahan knew exactly how to unleash Coleman’s best attributes on offenses during their tenure together.
