49ers running backs are excited to see Mike McDaniel returning as run-game coordinator

On Thursday, we learned the San Francisco 49ers turned down multiple requests from teams looking to poach run-game coordinator Mike McDaniel. Kyle Shanahan is the offensive architect, but he clearly likes what McDaniel brings to the table. And so do the 49ers running backs. Kyle Juszczyk and Jerick McKinnon both chimed in on Twitter Friday morning.

Juice and Jet are not the only players who are fans of what McDaniel brings to the table. Former NFL wide receiver Andrew Hawkins played for the Cleveland Browns in 2014 when McDaniel was the wide receivers coach.
