Jordan Mason is in top form among undrafted NFL running backs after his recent rushing performance with the 49ers.

According to ESPN's Nick Wagoner, Mason has the third-most rushing yards by an undrafted running back through his team's first four games, trailing only Arian Foster and Priest Holmes.

Most rushing yards by an undrafted player in the team's first four games of the season in NFL history:

Arian Foster, 2010 – 539
Priest Holmes, 2004 – 476
Jordan Mason, 2024-447

Foster was the league's most dominant rusher for the Houston Texans, collecting four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, four Pro Bowl selections and one All-Pro selection.

Holmes was the lead back for the Kansas City Chiefs from 2001 to 2007 and was selected to the Pro Bowl three times and All-Pro three times from 2001 to 2003.

Mason's impressive start to the 2024 NFL season has filled the void left by Christian McCaffrey's injury and given the 49ers a strong runner who can eat up yards on every run. The 25-year-old had another great performance in the 49ers' 30-13 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday at Levi's Stadium, rushing for 123 yards and a touchdown.

With McCaffrey's return not expected until November at the earliest, Mason will continue to be the featured player as San Francisco takes on a number of the NFL's best teams over the next eight weeks.

Expect a healthy dose of Mason as the third-year pro continues to gain more confidence with the football in his hands.
