As 49er scouts and front office types watch him stand tall and strong in the pocket, massive arm gleaming in the sun, their throats catch as the realize they could never make him happy. Its not you, Deshone, it's me. I can't give you what you need right now...my organization just sucks that hard.
And as John Lynch walks away, he looks back over his shoulder at the crestfallen Kizer..."Stay strong, thug-bone" (because that's evidently what he calls himself...nobody knows why).
Meanwhile at Stanford there's a white guy with work ethic who maximizes his skills and draws rave reviews from coaches. The 49ers actually know very little about him because Lynch won't stop touching himself anytime someone queues up the scouting tapes and it really distracts from the meetings. Besides, with all the brain injuries, Lynch won't stop calling him Ed.
So they take the pen, scratch out 'ed' and correct it to submit Christian McCaffrey, RB - Stanford.
Shanahan showed the ability to get a lot of juice out of multi-dimensional RBs like Freeman and Coleman; he can find a lot of yards out there with McCaffrey. I hate passing on Kizer but he won't succeed there. They need too much help and he needs too much work.
