49ers reach deal with UDFA RB Matt Breida

  • San Francisco signed Matt Breida, running back out of Georgia Southern, making him one of the highest-paid undrafted free agents in this class. 49ers running backs coach Bobby Turner has a history of turning unheralded prospects into productive NFL players during his time under both Mike and Kyle Shanahan.
  • Breida fell off the radar in 2016, posting a 51.0 overall grade and missing out on an invite to the combine.
  • However, Breida put together an impressive pro day performance and was far more productive in 2015 with an overall grade of 74.
