After spending his first four seasons with Minnesota and showing flashes of greatness at times, especially in the passing game, McKinnon signed a deal with the 49ers heading into the 2018 season. I was extremely excited as a fan of his game to get to run in a Shanahan system. McKinnon had insane athletic measurables and was going to finally show it. Alas, he tore his ACL and hasn\u2019t played since. In his first game as a 49er last week, he was able to rack up 44 total yards and a touchdown and was especially involved in the passing game.
