Show Notes
The San Francisco Forty Niners are focusing on reducing the workload for star running back Christian McCaffrey, who led the league with 413 touches last season. Head coach Kyle Shanahan emphasized the need for backup help, as McCaffrey approaches his thirties. Last year, they acquired veteran Brian Robinson, but rookies like Isaac Guerendo and Jordan James had limited roles. Shanahan acknowledges McCaffreys value as a decoy, but reducing his usage could harm the offense. The team is considering adjusting the scheme or drafting a versatile back, but finding the right fit may be challenging due to their early pick spot and other roster needs.
