49ers hold tryouts for 2 running backs; have a visit with another who ran a 4.39 40-yard dash
The 49ers had a visit with Blake Watson, and held tryouts for a familiar name
The San Francisco 49ers conducted tryouts for two running backs, Nyheim Miller-Hines and Zamir White, on Monday, according to the NFL's transaction wire, following the absence of Christian McCaffrey who sat out due to tightness. Watson, an undrafted free agent in 2024, also visited the team, impressing with his impressive 4.39 40-yard dash at Memphis's Pro Day.
The Niners are currently without four of their top back players due to injuries, leaving a void that could be filled by the new recruits. White, who is 6' 215 pounds, had a standout season in 2023 with the Raiders, while Miller-Hines, a former Colts player, spent time with the Chargers and Saints before his injury. Watson, at 26, has the speed that every team desires, and his potential could make him a valuable addition to the team's roster.
