Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard was without a home for the entire offseason but was sneakily picked up by the Detroit Lions and added to their practice squad where he will be the team's third-string quarterback.
Fans will remember Beathard from his days with the Niners. He was selected in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft and made some starts for San Francisco over the course of the next few seasons. He had some decent games, but it became clear the 49ers reached a bit on selecting him so early as he always had the talent of a backup rather than a starter.
