Former South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore signed a four-year contract with the 49ers on Friday. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Lattimore was the second of the Niners two fourth round draft picks. After a second serious knee injury, many NFL teams passed on the running back who holds the career rushing touchdown record (38) at South Carolina. Lattimore said his rehab is going great and he believes he can be ready to play this fall.
Quality person, hard worker and team player...guess those qualities appealed to San Francisco's coaching staff. Good kid and I hope he has a productive NFL career.
