According Howard Balzer, former NY Giants running back Shane Vereen worked out for the 49ers on Tuesday.
Vereen spent the last three seasons with the Giants.
He rushed for less than 600 yards in his time with the team but he did catch 123 passes.
His style never fit the prototypical “every-down-back” category.
But he was always an elite pass catcher.
In Super Bowl XLIX, then with the Patriots, Vereen led both teams with a game-high 11 receptions.
The 49ers have had incredibly unfortunate injury luck this season, especially at running back.
