Remember former Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon? He had a few productive seasons in Minnesota, which then translated to a four-year deal with San Francisco. But unfortunately, due to ongoing rehab from a torn ACL stemming from 2018, McKinnon still has not played a snap in San Fran in the past two years. Finally, though, after such a long wait, this clip should get everyone in the Bay Area excited.

With McKinnon working on speed and agility drills, he looks to be a full go once training camp starts for the Niners.

With the loss of Matt Breida via trade, Niners fans are already speculating on how McKinnon will complement Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman in the backfield, which is finally a realistic notion.

McKinnon made his name in the league with his productivity as both a runner and pass-catcher out of the backfield. With head coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense that likes to get skill position players out in space to make big plays, McKinnon should be able to fit in well in what will hopefully be his first full season in San Fran.
