Following running back Jerick McKinnon’s ACL injury during training camp in 2018, the San Francisco 49ers saw the emergence of running back Matt Breida, who would transform into one of the league’s most complete and dominating backs for the 2018 season.
And while Breida also suffered through niggling injuries for much of the year, forcing the Niners to dive well and truly down into the depth chart, it came as somewhat of a surprise when the team signed running back Tevin Coleman during free agency, given the already loaded backfield it possessed.
