In the NFL, player storylines change quickly. During the 2019-20 postseason, San Francisco running back Raheem Mostert emerged from under the radar as a key playmaker in the 49ers' run to the Super Bowl. Now, he likely feels underappreciated.
On Wednesday, Mostert requested a trade through his agent, Brett Tessler, who highlighted his client's league-leading 5.6 yards per carry among running backs.
Last offseason, Mostert signed a three-year, $8.7 million extension primarily as a special teamer.
Mostert logged 137 rush attempts for 772 yards and eight touchdowns during the 2019 season, and coupled with the 49ers' decision to trade Matt Breida to the Miami Dolphins, the 28-year-old should see an increased workload as Tevin Coleman's partner in the backfield.
