Replace Tyler with Tyler? Sure, why not! But I have liked Young as a prospect and I am really hoping he makes the jump this year and becomes the #3 as threat to run, block, or catch a pass. He is definitely built for it.

Absolutely - 'Tyler 2 Electric Boogaloo'...deceptive speed is Far more difficult to defend VS predictive speed. Both are great - one is even better. Watching his hands and how he presents to the ball - this dude is So natural.

As for Dereke Young, even before Shane Waldren started using him as one, I have been harping that his blocking enthusiasm should be utilized by lining up as a Fullback like the big bodied UW receiver (Marcel Reese) who became a 3-time, Pro Bowl FB several years back.

SF uses their All Pro FB (Kyle Jusczyk) fairly often in different formations including aligned as an H-Back. I Totally see our #83 as a Serious miss-match coming out of the backfield, like he did in college. Serious miss-match...
