Could Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer be drafted by the 49ers next month? There are some compelling reasons, as well as some incidental ones, why the 6-foot-4 redshirt sophomore could find himself in a 49ers huddle this fall.

1. Simple. He’s really good. Kizer is rated as the No. 2 quarterback coming out of college, according to many pre-draft rankings.

2. He can demolish doors. Forget the fact that Kizer is mobile, has a “generational” arm that accounted for 2,925 yards and 26 touchdowns this past season.
