The 49ers have several options behind Carlos Hyde. The team's new offensive coordinator, who has experience coaching running backs discussed a few of them.
The San Francisco 49ers would seem to have a pretty clear No. 1 running back in Carlos Hyde, but there will be plenty of competition for reps behind him. And given the durability questions along with Chip Kelly's offensive philosophy, the second and third running backs could see plenty of work.
On Thursday, offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins had a chance to discuss some of the running back reserves. He was first asked about Kelvin Taylor.
