49ers depth chart: Who makes the cut at running back in 2020?

The San Francisco 49ers depth chart at running back is going to give head coach Kyle Shanahan plenty of tough challenges and questions heading into the upcoming 2020 season.

Despite Shanahan being known for his intricate play design and ability to scheme receivers to get open into space and create yards after the catch, the fact remains his Niners are still a run-first team. San Francisco was second only to the Baltimore Ravens in total rush attempts and yards on the ground last season. And anyone who watched the 49ers barrel their way through the NFC playoff picture earlier this year can attest to just how effective the ground game was.
