San Francisco 49ers RB Glen Coffee Stuns Fans, Retires After One Year

Early reports this morning indicate that San Francisco 49ers RB Glen Coffee has indicated his desire to move on from football. A reason has not been given at this point.

Coffee, the 49ers third round draft choice from 2009, posted 83 carries for 226 yards, and 11 catches for 76 yards with one touchdown rushing. He also returned three kicks for 42 yards.

Coffee's departure all but assures that Anthony Dixon, the rookie sixth round draft choice from Mississippi State, will be the second string running back to Frank Gore. The loss also greatly increases Michael Robinson's chances of making the team next year pending free agent activity.
