Running back Isaac Guerendo brings speed — and fresh feet — to the 49ers’ rookie camp this weekend.
Louisville running back Isaac Guerendo runs in for a tough down during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Miami, Saturday, Nov. 18, 2023, in Miami Gardens, Fla. SANTA CLARA – Isaac Guerendo stood still in his size-12, red sneakers as 49ers reporters interviewed him Thursday for the first time at his new home of Levi’s Stadium. From here on out, those feet could be among the fastest to put on a 49ers uniform and race through defenses.
“ gave me Jonathan Taylor comparison and you can’t complain about that,” Guerendo said of Taylor, a former Badger who became a 2021 All-Pro with the Indianapolis Colts. “They didn’t throw the ball a lot when I was there, and he just saw more opportunity if I were to switch to running back.” He is in no race to steal Christian McCaffrey’s job, however. Guerendo is hungry to learn from the NFL’s reigning rushing champion, stating: “I was doubted a lot growing up playing football. To get to this point and to prove to the 5-year-old version of myself that I’m actually here, it’s exciting, but now it’s about maintaining that.”Malik Mustapha, a fourth-round safety from Wake Forest, found an instant connection with general manager John Lynch.
