The San Francisco 49ers are coming off one of their best seasons in recent memory, with second-year quarterback Brock Purdy proving to be the real deal and helping lead the storied franchise to the Super Bowl.
Even though the 49ers ultimately lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, Purdy and company are expected to be one of the best all-around teams in the league for quite some time, with the squad being stacked on both sides of the football.
Despite being one of the best all-around teams in the NFL, especially when it comes to the talent on the offensive side of the football with star players all over the field, the 49ers will still make some changes and see players come and go.
On Wednesday, the 49ers made another addition to the offense, with the team reportedly signing former Green Bay Packers running back Patrick Taylor Jr. to a one-year deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Obviously, this is not a game-changing move for the 49ers, especially with the team already having arguably the best running back in football, Christian McCaffrey, leading the way out of the backfield.
However, with McCaffrey’s injury history always being a concern for San Francisco, the team does need to be as deep as possible at the position, which they have addressed with this move, as well as having Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason on the roster.
Last season, Taylor played in 11 games for the Packers, rushing for 141 yards on 31 carries while also catching 11 passes for 49 receiving yards.
