49ers 3rd-string quarterback is sweating after ex-Niner returns to building
San Francisco 49ers v Minnesota Vikings | Michael Zagaris/GettyImagesThe San Francisco 49ers created some quarterback controversy on Monday with the news that ex-Niner Nate Sudfeld got a tryout. Is the much-awaited competition between Sudfeld and Carter Bradley for the third string spot approaching?
A reunion between Sudfeld and San Francisco would not be impossible. The Santa Clara native was with the Niners back in 2021 and 2022. He never appeared in a regular-season game with the 49ers, but he lost out to Brock Purdy for the third-string role in 2022, which turned out to be a pretty important development for the franchise.
