There was competition for McKinnon, but either way, that is a lot of money for a guy who had not held down a starting job previously.
When McKinnon suffered a torn ACL before the regular season even started, there were plenty of concerns. Head coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged the team had to adjust their game-plan for the season with their top running back sidelined. They signed Alfred Morris to compete with Matt Breida, but there were plenty of questions as Week 1 approached.
