HOUSTON – Trey Millard's first play in the NFL was very much like his last snap in college.
Millard, a former Oklahoma standout and seventh-round draft pick of the San Francisco 49ers in 2014, suffered a season-ending ACL tear in October of 2013.
But after a year of extensive rehabilitation work, the young fullback found himself in a familiar position Saturday night against the Houston Texans.
"I tore my ACL on kick-off cover and my very first play of this game was on kick-off cover," Millard said after the 49ers dropped the preseason opener, 23-10, on the road.
