2026 Season Outlook
A fifth-round pick out of Oregon in 2025, it was easy to miss the fact that James pretty much matched the production of Bucky Irving when they both played for the Ducks. Although he's neither big (5-10, 205) nor fast (4.55-second 40), James' collegiate production says he has clear natural running ability between the tackles. James was reportedly ahead of Isaac Guerendo on the San Francisco depth chart going into the offseason, so James will likely compete with third-round pick rookie Kaelon Black for the chance to be the RB2 behind Christian McCaffrey in 2026
