Today is Super Bowl LVIII and it has a pair of former Yellow Jackets ready to make an impact in today's game. Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is no stranger to Super Bowls, as he is playing in his third one with the Chiefs.
Super Bowl Sunday is upon us. The final football game of the season will commence on Sunday and it is a familiar matchup. The Kansas City Chiefs and the
Georgia Tech has landed two former players in the upcoming Super Bowl. Harrison Butker and Jordan Mason are going to face off in two weeks when the Kansas City Chiefs face the San Francisco 49ers.
It is championship Sunday in the NFL and two former Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are going to have a chance to punch a ticket to the Super Bowl. Harrison Butker is playing in his sixth straight AFC Championship game today with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The NFL playoffs continue today and two former Georgia Tech stars are going to have a chance to punch their ticket to the conference championship games.
No matter what Jordan Mason does, he can't surpass Elijah Mitchell as the 49ers' No. 2 running back behind Christian McCaffrey. On Sunday, McCaffrey sat out the 49ers' meaningless regular season finale with a mild calf strain, which means both Mitchell and Mason got ample opportunities to play.
The 49ers' running-back depth chart makes no sense. Christian McCaffrey is the starter -- that makes sense. But the No. 2 running back is Elijah Mitchell, who's averaging 2.4 yards per carry, while the No.
SANTA CLARA -- Jordan Mason is averaging 5.6 yards per carry, and yet the 49ers haven't given him the ball in the past three games. Meanwhile, Elijah Mitchell is averaging just 2.4 yards per carry, and has gotten 12 carries in the past three games, including eight last week.
The 49ers need a spark on offense, particularly in their run game. Two seasons ago, they moved Deebo Samuel to running back halfway through the schedule, and he provided the spark that carried the 49ers to the NFC Championship Game.
Let's cash some plus-money plays with our Jack Dougherty's two favorite TD bets for this week's "MNF" matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers.
What a great week of football. This column will analyze a player at each position rostered in 50 percent of Yahoo leagues or less each week. For reference,
There were plenty of letdowns and injuries to go around in Week 6 of the NFL season. Here are the top waiver-wire adds for Week 7.
If Kyle Shanahan trusted Jordan Mason, Christian McCaffrey might not have an injured oblique/rib right now. The 49ers gave McCaffrey a whopping 133 touches through the first six weeks of the season -- a gigantic workload for a smaller running back.
Jordan Mason played 15 offensive snaps during the San Francisco 49ers' loss to the Cleveland Browns, while Elijah Mitchell played just seven. Should running back Christian McCaffrey's oblique/rib injury sideline him for the upcoming game against the Vikings, one or both of these players will likely take on more prominent roles.
Injuries, injuries, and more injuries. It’s been a tough season so far with some of the high-flying rookies going down, big-name running backs dropping like flies and even the “safe” wide receivers are dealing with nagging problems.
The 49ers might have to play a game or two without Christian McCaffrey, who injured his oblique/rib Sunday against the Browns. If he misses time, the new starting running back should be Jordan Mason, not Elijah Mitchell.
Last season, the 49ers coaches didn't trust Jordan Mason. He was an undrafted rookie running back and he ran well during the preseason -- he surprisingly earned a spot on the 53-man roster.
The San Francisco 49ers added a duo of running backs last season, selecting Tyrion Davis-Price in the third round, while signing Jordan Mason as an undrafted free agent.
The San Francisco 49ers achieved a big win over the Seattle Seahawks to clinch the NFC West. In the fourth quarter, rookie running back, Jordan Mason ran for a first down.
Less than two weeks ago, the San Francisco 49ers were riding a four-game winning streak ahead of a Week 13 showdown against Tua Tagovailoa and the explosive Miami Dolphins offense. At the time, San Francisco was humming on all cylinders thanks to an elite defense and some great play from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
The San Francisco 49ers running back depth chart took a hit on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Elijah Mitchell exited the game with a knee injury.
The San Francisco 49ers' 13-0 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday came at a cost, with RB Elijah Mitchell suffering a sprained MCL that will sideline him for the remainder of the regular season. Here are some options to replace him.
Since the beginning of the offseason, San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason has made the most of his opportunities, earning praise for his hard-nosed, physical running style that embodied an NFL player.
Joining a backfield led by the recently acquired Christian McCaffrey, Mitchell had returned to form in two games since returning from said injury, tallying 148 rushing yards at a clip of 5.5 yards per rush. Unfortunately, it looks like the former mid-round pick from Louisiana will be sidelined for some time.
Wilson, who has been with the 49ers since 2018, did a nice job this season as the fill-in starter.
Wilson was asked specifically about Seahawks-Browns talks in 2018, when the Seahawks were linked to attempting to trade the QB to the Browns for the No. 1 overall pick.
Mitchell‘s run of injuries continued with an MCL sprain.
Mitchell missed six games last year and had knee surgery in the offseason that forced him to miss all of the team’s spring practices.
The 49ers conclude the preseason in Houston, Texas, Thursday night against the Texans. There are a lot of questions and position battles that still need to be answered before the regular season.
