Hard work, humility secrets to 49ers back Shaun Draughn’s success

Posted Dec 13, 2015
Shaun Draughn will make his fifth straight start Sunday and his second straight against a former team. He’s been on eight rosters since entering the league in 2011 and has been the rare NFL running back who stays on the field for all three downs. In Week 12 against the Cardinals, he played every offensive snap, the only running back to do that this season. (Sacramento Bee)
