all right I made it to San Francisco quick 30-hour surgical strike here in the off season gonna eat some good food this is actually a Czech restaurant paprika behind me but they're closed right now I'm gonna go to jumpstart coffee get the best breakfast sandwich in the city while I'm on my way right now we're gonna talk about Jordan Mason 49ers running back entering his second season and you know there's a cool stat that I just Unearthed right now while I was in the process of making the state of the 49ers the running back edition of state of the 49ers and that is yards after contact for a carry Jordan Mason averaged 4.2 yards after contact per carry now I get it the sample size was small Mason only had 42 carries this season but it was still significant enough especially if we're watching the tape or if we remember the highlights to realize that Mason was an absolute bull in a china shop probably the biggest back that Channahon has had with the team so far 225 five or so pounds and he just so happened that he would come into games late because he was a little bit lower on the depth chart but he'd come into games when defenses were already a little bit worn down and Trent Williams joked that Defenders would be making business decisions taking creative angles so they wouldn't have to take Mason on head-on and that earned him the nickname of the closer or the finisher for the record I asked Jordan Mason after he sealed the NFC West Title in the locker room asked him does he like the closer or the finisher better and he said the finisher well next season the 49ers are set to return all but Tevin Coleman from their running back room and Coleman obviously was on the practice squad this past season so it's going to come back intact I wrote the state of the 49ers running back Edition piece today you've got McCaffrey on a contract for three more years you hope that Elijah Mitchell stays more healthy next season beyond that though when you look at Ty Davis price relatively unproven and this other option Jordan Mason you see an opening for young running backs to take the next step and I think Jordan Mason is a guy who's really going to have a golden opportunity this past season after establishing himself with that superb stat 4.2 yards per contact after carry this past season Derrick Henry at 3.6 after establishing himself this past season Jordan Mason I think is going to have an opportunity to be more than just a closer in 2023. I think that that workload can grow as he gains more experience in NFL and has obviously already gained some trust from the 49ers all right let's take a look at the breakfast sandwich from jumpstart.com there it is it has been a while been too long best breakfast sandwich in San Francisco ask for the Lombardi special
