Raheem Mostert emerged as the go-to running back for the San Francisco 49ers last season and he's picked right back up from where he left off.

Early in San Francisco's Week 1 bout versus the Arizona Cardinals, Mostert busted loose for a 76-yard touchdown reception (via NFL).

After Jimmy Garoppolo took the snap, Mostert ran the fabled Texas route out of the backfield. Once Garoppolo saw Mostert create space from his defender, he delivered the ball to his 49ers teammate and let the running back do the rest.

Upon catching the ball, Mostert turned on the jets and none of Arizona's defenders were going to catch him. Despite finishing as the 49ers' leading rusher a season ago, Mostert wasn't utilized much as a receiver.

He finished with only 14 receptions for 180 yards in 2019. Provided that, he nearly accounted for half of his receiving production from last season on his first reception of the 49ers' 2020 season.
