The Facts: According to ESPN's Nick Wagoner, Breida will play a bigger role than some are expecting at running back.
Diehards Line:
Yes, the Niners spent big on Jerick McKinnon in the offseason and McKinnon will start and get plenty of opportunities, but Wagoner advised readers it would be unwise to forget about Breida in the Niners' running back room. Breida looked bigger and stronger during the offseason program while maintaining his speed and now that he has a year in the system under his belt, he should be even more comfortable. By the time the preseason ends, don't be surprised if Breida offers a reminder that he deserves a meaningful role in the offense.
