The 49ers for the second consecutive year took a running back in the third round of the NFL draft. It did not go well for them for the second consecutive year. The good news for Tyrion Davis-Price, the RB San Francisco took No. 93 overall, is opportunities should continue heading into his second season.
It’s worth remembering Davis-Price was one of the 49ers’ answers off the bench when RB Elijah Mitchell went down in Week 1. With no Mitchell in the lineup for Week 2, Davis-Price racked up a career-high 14 carries on a career-high 30 offensive snaps. The raw production wasn’t great, but he ran hard and looked explosive. All signs pointed to him continuing to be a factor as long as he kept growing into a larger role in the 49ers’ offense. Then the injury bug bit.
