49ers mailbag: Envisioning a McCaffrey-Mason duo; shadowing Justin Jefferson?
Briefly

Shanahan could potentially utilize Jordan Mason alongside Christian McCaffrey as a dual threat in the backfield, similar to how McCaffrey previously paired with Jeff Wilson Jr.
It's important to note that while Mason has improved, Wilson was a more adept receiver, making that backfield combination quite effective for passing plays.
Running backs coach Bobby Turner plays a crucial role in determining which running backs are utilized during games, rather than Shanahan directly calling those shots.
