The San Francisco 49ers got amazing production out of their rookies in 2017. Reuben Foster was a game changer on the field, Kendrick Bourne and Trent Taylor both were reliable wide receivers for Jimmy Garoppolo, and Matt Breida was fighting Carlos Hyde for carries in the 49ers backfield.
Now that the rookie season is over, things can only get better with a bit longer in Kyle Shanahan’s system. There are some big things expected out of the second year players. Solomon Thomas wasn’t horrible, but he definitely didn’t meet some fans expectations.
