Should see a lot of playing time as Frank Gore’s back up.

Highlights:
Eric Melendez has been a life-long 49ers fan that bleeds Red and Gold. While
growing up in Orange, CA he was behind enemy lines when the Rams played in
Anaheim in the ’80s and most of the ’90s. This however allowed him to see the 49ers
every year when they came into town as his dad had season tickets for the Rams.
Having lived in San Francisco since 2008, his appreciation for the Niners has only
grown as he is able to cheer on the 49ers with locals at the bar and attend home
games.
