NFL draft: 49ers expected to get Carlos Hyde help at RB
Running back Carlos Hyde (28) has been the 49ers most consistent runner the past two seasons.If the way Kyle Shanahan operated as offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons last year is any indication, Carlos Hyde can expect some company in the backfield.
In winning an NFC championship, Shanahan got good production out of Devonta Freeman (227 carries, 1,079 yards, 11 touchdowns) and Tevin Coleman (118 caries, 520 yards, eight touchdowns).
Hyde has been productive in two systems the past two seasons, but has played in only 20 of 32 games, raising some durability concerns.
