The Commanders traded Brian Robinson Jr. to the 49ers on Friday in exchange for a sixth-round pick, and we have a new backup running back for Christian McCaffrey in San Francisco. We can also now play the guessing game for the best running back in Washington out of Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Austin Ekeler and Chris Rodriguez.

In the same week, the 49ers traded for wide receiver Skyy Moore, they added a new weapon to their offense ahead of the 2025 NFL season. The 49ers addressed the backfield by trading for Brian Robinson Jr., strengthing their options between Christain McCaffrey, who missed most of last season with a torn Achilles tendon.

The 26-year-old is entering the final year of his four-year rookie deal and provides much-needed depth behind Christian McCaffrey in the San Francisco backfield.
