It is time for the 49ers to start looking at life after Frank Gore and I fully expect them to draft a potential replacement with one of their thirteen draft choices. In the next days I will post some potential options; players that can be had on the cheap and fly under the radar. Since that is how Trent Baalke tends to operate.
Michael Hill is a player that most College Football fans have never heard of, probably because he played at Missouri Western. I didn't even know there was a school Missouri Western, which is probably true for other fans. Even with all that said, Michael Hill is probably a prospect that is worth discussing.
If you watch the tape I'm sure you will see a comparison to another NFC West running back, Marshawn Lynch. After watching the tape I could see the 49ers falling in love with this kid. He runs about a 4.5 40-time but is a big-body back. He would fit perfectly with Kendall Hunter and LaMichael James. One of the things I like about him is that he can catch the ball too; he had 90 receptions in his college career and not all were of the short distance variety. Some of the receptions on tape were go-routes. Let's just say not to many running backs can do that.
Next up in the series of running backs in Marcus Lattimore.
