Shaun Draughn makes nice contributions for 49ers in surprise start
Posted Nov 9, 2015
Shaun Draughn was told nonchalantly during pregame warmups that he was starting for the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Draughn, who is now on his 8th NFL team, led the 49ers offense with 16 carries for 58 yards, and four receptions for 38 yards. His ease at adjusting to the offense earned praise from his team mates and coaches.
