The San Francisco 49ers have found another undrafted free agent running back gem in Jordan Mason, who finally got his opportunity this year due to the Achilles injury for star Christian McCaffrey and has made the most of it.
Mason currently leads the NFL in rushing attempts (91), is second in rushing yards (447), and has the second-most 20+ yard rushes this year (4).
He’s allowed the 49ers to maintain their status as a top offense, while running the ball at a top-10 clip in football.
This past weekend, Mason was seen in more of a receiving role, catching two passes for 37 yards, and would’ve had significantly more if not for a controversial holding penalty on George Kittle that nullified a 38-yard touchdown catch-and-run for the running back.
