The 2024 NFL Draft has wrapped up and six different former Missouri players were selected, the most since 2009. Darius Robinson, Ennis Rakestraw Jr., Ty’Ron Hopper, Kris Abrams-Draine, Javon Foster and J.C. Carlies were all selected by NFL teams.

But the Tigers weren’t done there.

Mere moments after the 2024 NFL Draft wrapped, Bleacher Report insider Jordan Schultz reported that Missouri football star running back Cody Schrader is signing with the San Francisco 49ers as an UDFA.

Schrader rushed for a Missouri single-season record 1,627 yards last season, on top of rushing for 14 touchdowns.

Starting in 13 games, Schrader recorded 276 carries for 1,627 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 5.9 yards per run, all career-high. Schrader also led the SEC with an average of 125.1 yards per game.

As a result of his stellar season, Schrader was named a First-Team All-America selection by the Associated Press, as well as a Second-Team Walter Camp All-America pick, a First-Team All-SEC selection, and won the 2023 Burlsworth Trophy, which honors the most outstanding player in the nation who began his career as a walk-on.

The once-Division-II Truman State player had one of the most remarkable comeback stories in all of college football, joining Missouri as a walk-on athlete and working his way from deep down the depth chart to the SEC’s leading rusher.

He finished last season as the eighth-placed player in Heisman Trophy voting, and the highest running back in the voting.

Now, the St. Louis native heads to San Francisco, giving the 49ers a dangerous backup to Christian McCaffrey.
