Tevin Coleman contract has 49ers running backs excited about backfield

Just after the news broke that the 49ers plan to sign running back Tevin Coleman, questions about the backfield depth chart started to arise.

Tevin Coleman joins Jerick McKinnon, Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert. That’s an interesting addition for #49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, who reunites with ex-Falcons RB. https://t.co/JNrnlYYGSS

Although there seems to be a shortage of spots available at running back, it didn't keep Coleman's future backfield-mates from tweeting their excitement to have him on the team.

Jerick McKinnon, who was last year's big free agent signing for the Niners before tearing his ACL before the regular season, was the first one to tweet at Coleman.
