San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert had a career day during Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He recorded career highs in both rushing attempts (19) and rushing yards (146), averaging 7.7 yards per carry, and found the end zone once in the game. It was his second consecutive game averaging 7.5-or-more rushing yards per attempt.
Mostert's performance in the loss has earned him a Week 13 nomination for the
FedEx Ground Player of the Week award.
The other nominees for the FedEx Ground Player of the Week are running backs Derrick Henry of the Tennessee Titans and Derrius Guice of the Washington Redskins. Henry rushed for 149 yards and a touchdown while Guice had 129 yards with two scores.
The last 49ers player to earn the honor was running back Tevin Coleman,
who won the award after an impressive Week 8 performance against the Carolina Panthers.

It was a bit of a shock when general manager John Lynch told NBC Sports Bay Area on Monday that the reports of the San Francisco 49ers being among the teams that pushed to add All-Pro safety Jamal Adams were false.
"Totally inaccurate," Lynch said via Matt Maiocco. "We did not ever make a call about the player."
And there you go.
Lynch says his team never actually reached out to the Jets about Adams, who was eventually traded to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks for a haul that included two first-round picks. That doesn't, however, mean San Francisco was uninterested in one of the best defenders in the game. The team just knew it couldn't afford

Raheem Mostert has some big aspirations. The biggest football-related one might be the San Francisco 49ers running back being motivated by Canton. He hopes to have a good enough career to one day find himself in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
