Former Minnesota Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon met with the media and expressed how excited he is to be a part of the San Francisco 49ers. He stated repeatedly how Kyle Shanahan’s offense is the perfect fit for him and his skill set. McKinnon somehow got the title of being a third down back while in Minnesota and is ready to shed that moniker and become much more.
In college at Georgia Southern, where he overlapped with Matt Breida for one season, he played quarterback and then transitioned to running back.
