The San Francisco 49ers Select C.J. Beathard With the 104th Pick in the 3rd Round of the NFL Draft

So, the San Francisco 49ers have just selected C.J. Beathard and now you want to know more about him, right?

Well, Beathard was a two-year starter for the Iowa Hawkeyes who started 27 games in his tenure with the program. In those 27 career starts, Beathard finished with an impressive 20-7 record, which included an undefeated regular season, a Big Ten Championship appearance, and a Rose Bowl appearance in the 2015-2016 season.

As a sophomore, Beathard battled for the starting spot throughout the regular season with then incumbent starter Jake Rudock (now of the Detroit Lions). However, it wasn’t until his junior season that he was able to officially take full control of the job.
