UDFA rookie Jeff Wilson, Jr. made his first NFL active roster a week ago, and it already looks like he has beaten out veteran Alfred Morris to become the Niners’ No. 2 running back. (Morris was a healthy inactive vs. Tampa Bay.)
The 33 yards Wilson, Jr. gained against Tampa Bay on seven carries is more than Morris has picked up in a game since Week 5, and the rookie’s average of 4.7 yards per carry is almost twice as high as Morris’ 2.4 YPC in the last five games. Wilson got two first downs on those seven carries, and a touchdown that was reversed and called barely short after a video review.
