49ers Won't Ask RB LaMichael James To Add-On Weight

Found June 07, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: LaMichael James,  Frank Gore,  Brandon Jacobs,  Kendall Hunter
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers
49ers running backs coach Tom Rathman told the Sacramento Bee that while he likes the depth the team has at the position, "I don't know if everyone's going to be happy with the time that they get." The Niners added rookie LaMichael James to a group that includes long-time starter Frank Gore, veteran Brandon Jacobs and second-year rusher Kendall Hunter, among others. When asked if James needed to bulk up to play more effectively at the next level, Rathman said no. "He's already an impact player. That's what he is," he said. "So he's going to be a guy that makes a lot of plays for your offense, can do a lot of different things for your football team. I don't know if you ask a guy to put on weight, try to be somebody that he's not or he hasn't been in his past experience playing football."
