When Joe Montana and Dante Pettis showed up to the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, they were there to promote a junior golf exhibit, not the 49ers’ future.
But that wouldn’t prevent Joe Cool from registering some cautious optimism on the 49ers’ passing game, one year removed from the disappointment of Jimmy Garoppolo’s season-ending ACL tear and Pettis’ underwhelming rookie campaign as an outside, field-stretching threat.
“You can take a look at how the quarterback comes back and what have they added to the team to help him on the outside – it’s been a big need for them,” Montana said.
