The former undrafted free agent finished last season as the 49ers’ leading rusher (814 yards) and averaged a robust 5.3 yards per carry. Only Alvin Kamara (5.13 yards per carry) and Saquon Barkley (5.01) have averaged more yards per rush than Breida (4.96) among 36 running backs with at least 250 carries over the past two seasons.
He’s demonstrated the ability to contribute as a receiver with 48 receptions for 441 yards and three scores over the past two years, and figures to compete for double-digit touches per game as long as he’s healthy enough to stay on the field. — Ian Hartitz
