The San Francisco 49ers went rotated three running backs on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, and recently acquired Shaun Draughn ended up with the start. He finished the game with 44 snaps, far exceeding Kendall Gaskins' 16, and Pierre Thomas' 4. It turns out Draughn did not find out he would be starting until shortly before the game. He was told nonchalantly during pregame warm ups that he was starting. The 49ers signed Draughn on Monday, and starting with his arrival at the team facilities that, he has been working night and day (approximately 15 hours/day) with running backs coach Tom Rathman and the team.
