49ers Find Silver Lining with Emerging Play of RB Carlos Hyde

The San Francisco 49ers are out of the playoff hunt, and there are pressing questions surrounding their roster after this season's closure. 

But one of the budding bright spots emerging from this season is rookie running back Carlos Hyde.

The 57th overall pick has largely been shadowed by the veteran presence and ability of running back Frank Gore. Yet with Gore's future uncertain, signs point to the promising rookie becoming the featured back of San Francisco's offense in 2015 and beyond.
