49ers rookie impresses coaches with improbable debut
Briefly

After spending five seasons at Wisconsin, Guerendo transferred to Louisville for his final season. With the Cardinals, Guerendo rushed for 810 yards on 132 carries with 11 touchdowns. Guerendo added 22 receptions for 234 yards.
I thought he did a real good job, especially since it was the first day he had shoulder pads on since the Senior Bowl. He got hurt our first day of practice and then the two practices we had before the Raiders week were unpadded practices. So for him to go that long without putting pads on, I really liked how he ran. He tried to break tackles, never eased up on contact, tried to run through it, hit the holes well and had a real good first game.
Guerendo's standout performance should likely bounce him up the depth chart and into the conversation for Christian McCaffrey's backup alongside Jordan Mason and Elijah Mitchell.
In his first preseason game in the NFL, it didn't take long for the former Louisville Cardinal to make an impression. In the second quarter, Guerendo took back a kickoff return for a 93-yard touchdown. Along with a blazing run to the end zone on kickoff, Guerendo added 32 yards on 11 carries and two catches for three yards.
