What We Learned from 49ers vs. Chargers
The San Francisco 49ers wasted no time getting on the scoreboard against the San Diego Charger on Thursday in the team's preseason finale. On the third play from scrimmage, rookie quarterback Dylan Thompson hit Bruce Ellington on a quick slant that the receiver took 70 yards to the house.
The 49ers ultimately won the game, 14-12, to end their exhibition season.
That meant guys like Thompson, Ellington and others had the opportunity to see extra playing time as they tried to impress the coaching staff one final time before the looming roster cuts.
Many players, especially the rookies, did just that.
Thompson goes the distance
