Former Mizzou player Cody Schrader impressing San Francisco 49ers
SUMMARY: Cody Sherer, a standout from Missouri, was not drafted in the NFL despite 257 players being selected among 32 teams.

With a solid running back already in the roster, Sherer may not need to play every down, but his development could lead to a significant role on the team.
