The 49ers with their second pick in the 2022 NFL draft, No. 93 overall in the third round, took LSU running back Tyrion Davis-Price.
Davis-Price measured in at 6-0, 211 pounds and ran a 4.48 40 at the combine. He spent three years at LSU and broke out in his junior campaign when he rushed for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns on 211 attempts.
This is the second year in a row the 49ers have selected a running back in the third round and the third RB they’ve drafted in the last two years after not drafting one between 2018 and 2020. He’ll join a backfield with Elijah Mitchell, Trey Sermon, Jeff Wilson Jr. and JaMycal Hasty.
