LaMichael James Lands in San Francisco

Found April 30, 2012 on Fantasy Football Champs:
PLAYERS: LaMichael James,  Frank Gore,  Kendall Hunter,  Brandon Jacobs
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers selected running back LaMichael James with the No. 61 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Fantasy Spin: James is coming off a stellar career at Oregon, and displayed exceptional instincts, quickness and balance - but his slight frame may limit him to a complementary role in the NFL. And his fantasy stock looks to be low while fighting for touches behind Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter and free agent signee Brandon Jacobs. He is merely a late-round flier as a rookie in standard-sized leagues, and is a late-round target for keeper leagues as well.

Randy Moss’ daughter Sydney Moss named Kentucky Miss Basketball

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  April 30, 2012
From the sound of it, Randy Moss isn’t the only freakishly athletic person in his family. We have all seen the amazing things that Moss is capable of on the field when he puts some effort in, and from the look of it the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Moss’ daughter, Sydney Moss, is a high school basketball star at Boone County high in Kentucky. According to WLWT, she...

49ers reached out to Randy Moss last season

Via Pro Football Zone  |  May 01, 2012
According to Cam Inman of the MercuryNews.com, San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent Baalke indicated that they reached out to Randy Moss last season. “The response was, ‘Not interested. Done. Hanging the cleats up.’ So we just let it go. Obviously Randy didn’t come back (in 2011) and sat out the year,” said Baalke. When Moss “retired” last season, I really think...

Draft Losers: San Francisco 49ers

Via DraftAce  |  April 29, 2012
When you’re as close to a Super Bowl berth as the San Francisco 49ers were in 2011, you need to add some impact players in the draft to push you over the top. Unfortunately, the 49ers failed to add a single starter, instead settling for developmental prospects who will do little to help in 2012. How does James fit in San Fran? A.J. Jenkins was a reach in the late 1st-round and...

49ers believe LaMichael James is an every down back

Via Pro Football Zone  |  April 29, 2012
San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh is very familiar with running back LaMichael James, who he faced off against in the Pac-12 when he was the  head coach at Stanford. One thing in particular Harbaugh remembers is how tough it was to stop James inside the red zone, where the 49ers offense had problems last season. “Just the unstoppable nature of him at the goal line,”...

According to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com, wide receiver Randy Moss has reported to the San Francisco 49ers offseason program after being excused by head coach Jim Harbaugh to work out on his own for the first week.

A.J. Jenkins Surprise Pick For 49ers

Via Fantasy Football Champs  |  April 30, 2012
The San Francisco 49ers pulled wide receiver A.J. Jenkins from the board with the No. 30 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Fantasy Spin: Jenkins was viewed as a reach, namely with Stephen Hill, Alshon Jeffery, Brian Quick and Rueben Randle still on the board - but Jenkins should still develop into an explosive weapon for a San Francisco receiving corps that was a glaring weakness for an...

Randy Moss is one of the most prolific & physically gifted players in NFL history. Despite his gifts, he sometimes checks out mentally, however, which was the case last year as he floundered with 3 different teams.

Had 49ers not taken Jenkins at No. 30, Rams may have selected him at No. 33

Via The Scores Report  |  April 30, 2012
The 49ers surprised observers last Thursday night when they selected Illinois receiver A.J. Jenkins with the 30th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Hunter and James, a Twitter Moment

Via 49ersNews  |  April 29, 2012
It didn’t take long for 2nd round pick LaMichael James to reach out to his soon to be teammates. This one in particular caught my attention, because if things go according to plan the 49ers backfield will feature both these backs. That is once Frank Gore has nothing left in the tank. @KendallHunter32 what’s good east Texas!? — LaMichael James (@LaMichaelJames) April 29, 2012...
