Once again the San Francisco 49ers have another running back from the state of Florida on their roster and, while nobody is at this point expecting Kelvin Taylor to become Frank Gore, he is a rookie who has an immediate chance to make an impact.
Taylor, son of former Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots tailback Fred Taylor, comes into a situation where there is no clear backup to starter Carlos Hyde, who will need somebody to take a share of the load after seeing his first two seasons in the league hampered by injury.
His rivals for the backup role are Kendall Gaskins, Mike Davis, DuJuan Harris and Shaun Draughn.
