It's a huge episode of the 49ers Webzone No Huddle Podcast.
Al Sacco speaks with young San Francisco 49ers star running back Jeff Wilson Jr., who discusses his incredible journey from North Texas to the NFL, what it has been like playing in recent weeks, why he runs so hard, and the following:
- How his foot injury at North Texas impacted his preparation for the draft.
- The process of signing with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent.
- What it means working with running backs coach Bobby Turner.
- Why learning the 49ers were signing him to the practice squad was an emotional rollercoaster.
- What it was like learning Kyle Shanahan's playbook and what it is like being a running back within his system.
- The 49ers stuck with Wilson after a big fumble against the Seahawks, and he came through at the end. What does that confidence from the coaching staff mean to him?
After the interview with Wilson, guest co-host Rob "Stats" Guerrera of Pro Football Talk joins Al. The duo breaks down the team's most recent wins and discuss the following:
- NFL teams aren't going to tank to gain draft position.
- Why Nick Mullens should not be traded even if a great offer presents itself.
- What the emergence of Dante Pettis means to the 49ers.
- Should the 49ers go after free agents like receiver Tyrell Williams or safety Earl Thomas?
- With a limited number of picks, where should the 49ers focus in the draft?
- Is it too early to give up on players like Ahkello Witherspoon and Adrian Colbert?
- Why it is important to sign DeForest Buckner to a contract extension ASAP.
- Why Solomon Thomas' recent play has been encouraging.
