RB Shaun Draughn has 49ers' ‘trust’ as every-down contributor

Posted Nov 30, 2015
As a newcomer to the 49ers starting offense, guard Andrew Tiller appreciates how reliable running back Shaun Draughn has become in place of injured Carlos Hyde. How reliable? Draughn played all 56 offensive snaps in Sunday’s 19-13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. “Shaun runs hard. I like Shaun back there,” Tiller said Monday. “He’s getting into a groove. He’s got our trust up front.” (San Jose Mercury News)
