Here is why the addition of Christian McCaffrey is a game changer for San Francisco.
The 49ers offense under Kyle Shanahan was at its best in 2019.
A large part of their success that season was they had complementary running backs.
Tevin Coleman was the grinder. He would beat up teams between the tackles but wasn’t much of a threat to beat opponents around the edge.
That’s where Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert stepped in. This duo gave Kyle Shanahan a back who could score from anywhere on the field.
What made them so tough to defend was they weren’t limited to only beating defenses around the edge.
