49ers running back Tyrion Davis-Price finished his rookie year on the unenviable Trey Sermon track. That’s the one where a third-round pick has a mostly underwhelming rookie year aided in part by an inconveniently-timed injury, never recovers and is cut before Week 1 of his second season.
That’s a dark road no running back should want to follow. Early returns on Davis-Price indicate he reversed course this offseason and now might find his way into a real offensive role.
