Jeff Wilson Jr. Up Against Jonathan Taylor, Duke…

“He’s improved a ton,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said of the ball carrier. “We all know exactly what Jeff is, so it’s not that he was ever just not good or anything. But it’s hard when you get hurt in OTAs and then your first practice is Week 6 or whatever that was. So, it’s taken him a while to get his legs back. He’s been looking so much better these last few weeks and each week he gets stronger and stronger.”

Added Wilson Jr.: “I am much better, much better. Today was one of those days where I felt like myself. I felt like old Jeff, before all the stuff happened. So, it was a good day and I felt very good.”

Wilson Jr. is up against Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts and Duke Johnson of the Miami Dolphins for the weekly honor. Fans can vote for Wilson Jr. at NFL.com/FedEx as well as on Twitter via the @NFL published polls and on the NFL mobile app.
