In his 35-game career at Ohio State, Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 3,961 yards and 43 scores. In April, Elliott became the third running back since 2006 to be selected with a top-four overall pick. Elliott had his first 100-yard game Sunday in his third NFL start. On Sunday, however, Hyde will have a chance to top the rookie he terms his "little brother" when the 49ers host the Cowboys at Levi's Stadium. On Thursday, Hyde did everything but yawn when asked about the meeting, saying "he wasn't really paying too much attention" to the game when the NFL schedule was released. On Sunday, he'll share the field with Cowboys inside linebacker Sean Lee, his teammate at Penn State who was selected in the second round in 2010, one round ahead of Bowman. Bowman and Lee, a Pro Bowl selection last year, are among a host of NFL standouts from "Linebacker U." And Hyde and Elliott are the latest accomplished running backs from Ohio State: The school has produced 13 first-round running backs and nine draft picks at the position that have appeared in a Pro Bowl.

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
By David Bonilla
Apr 16
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.

Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
