49ers Sign Former Packers RB Patrick Taylor Jr. to One-Year Deal

The move adds depth to San Francisco's running back room, already featuring star Christian McCaffrey, amid draft speculation.

The San Francisco 49ers have signed former Green Bay Packers running back Patrick Taylor Jr. to a one-year deal.
Taylor, a 2020 undrafted free agent, has played in 37 games over the past three seasons with the Packers, logging a career-high 226 offensive snaps in 2023.
The 49ers' running back room already includes Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell, and Jordan Mason, with Taylor expected to compete for rotational reps.
Taylor's signing comes amidst speculation that the 49ers might add a running back in the 2024 NFL draft, suggesting a strategic move for depth and competition.
The Packers, having made significant changes to their running back room, including signing 2022 rushing champion Josh Jacobs, may target a running back in the upcoming draft for long-term depth.
