Heading into his third season with the San Francisco 49ers, Thomas Clayton is ready to prove that this will be his breakout year.

As a member of the 49ers practice squad for the 2007 season and the better half of 2008, Clayton patiently waited for his chance to play in a regular season game.

The 5-foot-11, 220-pound tailback made a habit of being one of the best running backs statistically in the past two exhibition seasons. In his first preseason, Clayton led the National Football League with 200 rushing yards on 45 carries. In 2008, he rushed for 186 yards on 42 carries.

Clayton got his first taste of the NFL’s regular season when Frank Gore was sidelined with an ankle injury towards the latter stages of last year. With Gore unable to play against the Miami Dolphins, the 49ers called Clayton up from the practice squad to join the 53-man roster for the final three games of the season.

“It felt good,” Clayton said of his promotion. “It definitely felt like it was a long time coming and I felt like the work that I put in didn't come in vein. But with that being said, if everything is rewarded, with the work I’m putting in this offseason, I should definitely have a rewarding season.”

In his only three regular season games, Clayton dressed against the Miami Dolphins and was inactive for the following two games against the St. Louis Rams and Washington Redskins.

Despite not being able to carry the ball, Clayton has worked diligently this offseason to prove when training camp rolls around that he’s capable of having success in the regular season.

Clayton, who prides himself on keeping in top shape all-year long, spent the entire month of January back home in Northern Virginia working out and visiting with his family.

“Typically I do a leg workout every day just to keep them tone and fit. Then it kind of varies with my upper body. I’m trying to stay involved so once I start the offseason workouts in mid-March – I’ll be ready,” he said.

Besides his normal workout regiment, Clayton has added to his offseason repertoire.

“I play a little racquetball,” he proudly declared.

During his visit back home, Clayton’s wasn’t bashful about playing his father’s beloved sport.

“My dad was in the military and at the gym all of his military friends go to, everybody plays racquetball,” Clayton said. “I think it's good for footwork, but I also kind of like it. It’s fun.”

Despite being the youngest player on the racquetball court at the local YMCA, Clayton enjoys working on his lateral movement, which he plans on using this upcoming season against opposing defensive players.

Clayton used those same quick-feet to impress the 49ers coaching staff this season on the 49ers practice squad going against the first-team defense.

When he received word that he would be up on the 53-man roster following the injury to Gore, Clayton was excited to travel with the team and potentially showcase what he had learned from the 49ers superstar running back, as well as the veteran DeShaun Foster.

“I have an outstanding relationship with Frank and I definitely attribute the success I had in the last two preseasons to him.” Clayton said. “With DeShaun coming to the team last year, just his knowledge of the game and how long he's been playing has definitely helped my overall game.

“Having both those guys in my corner last year helped me make a huge jump from my rookie year to my sophomore season. I’m real anxious to get back on the field for my third year and put to work all I’ve learned from those guys.”

Specifically, Clayton has become more of a slashing-style running back which he attributes from watching how Gore runs the ball in practice.

“I think with all that I’ve learned, I’m definitely going to be able to have some success this year,” Clayton said.

He also believes the 49ers will also be a team to reckon with this upcoming season. After watching the NFC Western Division champion Arizona Cardinals make it all the way to the Super Bowl, Clayton feels like the 49ers are on the verge of achieving similar success.

“What the Super Bowl did was make me realize how close we really are,” he said. “With the way things are in the NFL, everybody's team has talent. But I think it’s about getting a group of guys to play well together at the right time. I think that’s when you have most of your success. The Cardinals won nine games in the regular season, but they hit their peak at the right time and before you knew it, they were in the Super Bowl. I just think once we get the right group together that plays well together, we’re that close to being a Super Bowl contender.”

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers have extended the contracts of linebacker Parys Haralson and kicker Joe Nedney after strong 2008 seasons by both players.

Haralson received a four-year extension through 2013, and Nedney agreed to a two-year extension through 2011.

Haralson emerged as the 49ers' top pass-rusher last season, getting eight sacks despite playing only sparingly in the season's early games. The former fifth-round pick finished fifth among NFL linebackers in sacks.

Nedney had another steady season for the 49ers, improving to 101-of-115 on field-goal attempts since joining the club in 2005. The former San Jose State kicker is the 42nd-leading scorer in NFL history.

Today is the last day draft-eligible prospects are allowed to visit with teams prior to the April 25-26 draft. The 49ers expect a turnout in the mid-30s for their local pro day at the team's practice facility in Santa Clara.
The only real notable local players (that I know about) who are not expected to attend are fast-rising defensive end Jarron Gilbert and cornerback Coye Francies, both of San Jose State. Gilbert is scheduled to visit the Redskins today. Francies had his wisdom teeth pulled on Tuesday, and his doctor advised him not to work out because of an infection.



* * *



Meanwhile, the 49ers report a very encouraging turnout for the team's offseason program. Many players are remaining in the area to take full advantage of the new-and-improved weight room. (For those on Facebook, I've added photos of the remodel on my profile page.)



Receiver Isaac Bruce and running back Frank Gore have not taken part in the 49ers' offseason program. Bruce and Gore - two guys coach Mike Singletary does not have to worry about getting out of shape - go through their own personal training programs at home.



Bruce lives in St. Louis. Gore has remained in Miami while his house is being built there. Linebacker Takeo Spikes began work in the offseason program, but other responsibilities required his return to Atlanta.



All three quarterbacks on the roster - Shaun Hill, Alex Smith and Damon Huard - are taking part in the offseason program and learning new offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye's system.



By the end of the offseason program, the 49ers expect there to be 100-percent attendance. The program concludes June 14 for veterans, and June 25 for rookies and first-year players.



The next minicamp is scheduled for the weekend after the draft (May 1-3). It is a voluntary minicamp. The team's mandatory minicamp is June 5-7. The 49ers' organized team activities are scheduled for May 18-21, June 1-2, June 8-11, June 15-16. (They're allowed 14 sessions.)



* * *



I don't have any confirmed list of local players expected to take part in today's pro day. But here are players from local colleges, according to NFLDraftScout.com, who have at least a chance of making it into an NFL camp:



Cal (16) -- C Alex Mack, TE Cameron Morrah, OLB Zack Follett, ILB Worrell Williams, FB Will Taufoou, ILB Anthony Felder, DE Rulon Davis, QB Nate Longshore, LS Nick Sundberg, K Jordan Kay, OG Noris Malele, OT Chet Teofilo, DT Mike Kane, WR LaReylle Cunningham, S Bernard Hicks, WR Sean Young.



Menlo (1) -- OT Victor Brankovich



San Jose State (12) -- Gilbert, Francies, CB Christopher Owens, DE Jeff Schweiger, K Jared Strubeck, WR David Richmond, TE Jeff Clark, RB Yonus Davis, OT Bradis McGriff, FS Kyle Flynn, LB Brian Elledge, C Justin Paysinger.



Stanford (8) -- C Alex Fletcher, DE Pannel Egboh, RB Anthony Kimble, OT Ben Muth, CB Wopamo Osaisai, ILB Pat Maynor, OG Gustav Rydstedt, K Aaron Zagory.



It should be noted that players from the Bay Area who went away to college are also eligible to participate in the pro day. Ken Dorsey, Marcus Maxwell and Jason Hill are among the players in recent years who attended.
