Coffee is currently a paratrooper in the Army, but he has been reinstated by the NFL.

In his one season with the 49ers, Coffee rushed for 226 yards and a touchdown as a backup to Frank Gore. San Francisco drafted him with the No. 74 overall pick of the third round.

During his last year at Alabama in 2008, Coffee rushed for 1,383 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Coffee is only 29, and he's still in good shape since he's been in the Army for the last few years. Some team might be willing to give him a shot in a backup role next season.
