Despite some panic about Christian McCaffrey coming off an injury-ravaged 2024 season, the San Francisco 49ers' acquisition of Brian Robinson Jr. had more to do with the health status of their other running backs.

Robinson Jr., a third-round pick of the Commanders back in 2022, has had three productive seasons in the NFL, rushing for 730 or more yards in every season while scoring 15 touchdowns and adding 65 catches, 587 yards and five more scores through the air across 37 starts.

Supporters of the 49ers could not help but get excited for what’s ahead. “locked in cmc gonna be a force to be reckoned with 🔥🔥” a comment on Instagram read. “RB1 🔥 how quickly they forgot,” another said.
