‘Breida gained 623 rushing yards and 120 receiving yards for the 49ers in 2019. He started that season as a key member of the Niners’ rotation, averaging 60 rushing yards a game. Then he missed three games with an ankle injury and lost his spot in the rotation as Niners backs Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman began producing better. Breida scored an 83-yard TD run vs. Cleveland in 2019 on which he reached a speed of 22.3 mph, according to NFL NextGen Stats. That made him the fastest ball-carrier on an individual play in the 2019 season. The Niners traded Breida last spring to Miami for a fifth-round pick.’
