SANTA CLARA — Flipping out over the 49ers’ undefeated start? Richie James Jr. sure is.
James is their second-year slot receiver, return specialist and, whoa, a victory-formation acrobat.
At the end of each win this season, James has done a backflip from the back of the 49ers’ victory formation.
He’ll stand flat-footed 9 yards behind the line of scrimmage, and once Jimmy Garoppolo takes the last snap for a clock-killing kneel-down, James flips into the air to spark the celebration.
