Forty-Niners Add Sincere McCormick to Running Back Room

0:00It's April 28th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI tracking teams, players, and standings. The San Francisco 49ers are stacking their running back room after grabbing K-Lon Black in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Now they've signed 25-year-olds and seer McCormick, who used to play for the Las Vegas Raiders, according to his agency. McCormick went undrafted out of UTSA back in 2022. He bounced around practice squads, including time with the 49ers last year, before seeing real action in 2024. There he rushed 39 times for 183 yards over five games with two starts and snagged six catches for 29 yards. That gives San Francisco five VACs on the roster now. Christian McCaffrey, Jordan James, Patrick Taylor, Black, and McCormick. And see McCaffrey as untouchable, Blacks a fresh draft pick, and James, their fifth round guy from 2025, looks solid too.

1:00The real scrap comes down to Taylor vs. McCormick for that potential fourth spot if they keep a deep group. McCormick already spent nearly two months with the 9ers early in 2025, so he knows Shanahan scheme inside out. In this packed-back field, McCormick's likely just camped up to push the vets, but training battles could shake things up before roster cuts hit. Keep an eye on how it flows from here.
