Well this has been an interesting twist of an evening. It looks like the San Francisco 49ers are going to the undrafted free agent well to get Humboldt State running back Ja’Quan Gardner.
Who is this guy? Well, considering he’s a running back and the 49ers got excellent production out of Alfred Morris, I suspect he’s a future practice squad candidate. The 49ers need bodies for the final preseason game and they don’t exactly have much at running back. Joe Williams is out with a rib fracture, Jeremy McNichols is Jeremy McNichols and there’s no way Kyle Shanahan is exposing Matt Breida or Jerick McKinnon to any possible avenue of injury.
