Kyle Shanahan was probably drawing plays for a guy like Christian McCaffrey in middle school#NFL #NinersFootball https://t.co/lmONTvMH3s

He’ll likely get a series or two where he’s really featured. It’ll be interesting to see what Kyle Shanahan can draw up on two days notice. #49ers https://t.co/MafvH82TZK
