4. Raheem Mostert

When healthy, Raheem Mostert is so much fun to watch. The key word there is healthy. Time and time again we’ve seen Mostert go down due to injury and it has sucked for San Francisco 49ers fans.

Mostert broke out onto the scene in 2019, rushing for 772 yards and eight touchdowns. He played a major role in the 49ers getting to the Super Bowl that season. After that, however, the injuries started piling up for him.

In 2020, Mostert only played in eight games due to a knee sprain, followed by ankle injuries. There was hope that Mostert would be able to fully rock in 2021 and remind people of how great he can be with the ball in his hands. Instead, he only played in one game after suffering a knee injury in Week 1 and he had to undergo surgery.

Your heart just broke for the guy. Now, Mostert is looking to get himself back to 100 percent and sign a new deal. Due to his history of injuries, teams may be hesitant to sign him, but there’s no denying the talent is there. Someone will end up grabbing him and hope it pays off in a big way.
