5 takeaways from 49ers’ final roster cuts

This is my Sunday column.

One interesting selection on the 49ers’ final roster: rookie running back Mike Davis. He seems to have taken a job away from veteran running back Kendall Hunter.

The Niners placed Hunter on the Injured Reserve list Saturday afternoon even though he played the final two preseason games.

Hunter didn’t play well in those games, averaged only 2.1 yards per carry. Davis averaged 4.3 yards per carry all preseason. Davis is quick, explosive and confident, as opposed to Hunter, who is sluggish and tentative after tearing his ACL in August of 2014.
