He was released in March.  Didn't get resigned.  With his injury history I doubt anyone will take a chance on him unfortunately.

According to ESPN at the end of the game:

 

7 carries with 33 yards which is 4.7 yards per carry.   He also caught one pass for 8 yards.  Even the announcers mentioned that he'd shown something in the game though.  He was half a yard shy of an 8 yard through traffic TD.

His longest run was for 18 yards.

I never realized how big Wilson looks. Definitely looks like an NFL back.

He looks like he's added weight too.

we need a clone of Wilson back here

[GMG24]

Now has insurance and I believe life insurance for remainder of his life.  Believe NFL really takes care of their dudes when it comes to that

Came across a few good articles on our boy...

SANTA CLARA — 49ers running back Jeff Wilson says a heart-to-heart with his position coach was key to the turning point in his rookie year. 

“Me and my coach had a pow-wow,” Wilson said. “Me and Bobby Turner had a pow-wow about two weeks ago. Just me and him. I then I just got my mind right and just went from there.”

As for Wilson, the 49ers promoted the rookie running back from the team's practice squad on Saturday before the game and served as Matt Breida's primary backup against the Bucs. Wilson's play in practice is what warranted the call-up to the active roster. He showed well in his NFL debut, running for 33 yards on seven carries (4.7 average) and added one catch for eight yard

How classy to bring in his parents! Shout out to the 49ers!

[peanuts104]

So proud of him.  He will represent the university well wherever he goes.  He's always so humble.

Looks like Breida is limited in practice this week.  Jeff should get a lot of reps.

Complete garbage QB. Coming from a Texans fan. Also made of glass.

Agreed. So refreshing to finally have a competent QB to compliment the defense.
