While much of the quarterback conversation around the San Francisco 49ers is about the battle between Brock Purdy and former top-three pick Trey Lance, there's one other signal caller that may have a say at some point this season.
Sam Darnold.
Initially signed as a depth piece following a season in which the organization cycled through four different quarterbacks, Darnold may have a bigger role than most people think.
"I bet he's going to play meaningful snaps for them at some point," an AFC executive said, per ESPN's Nick Wagoner and Jeremy Fowler.
"Kyle's system is a perfect fit," another general manager added.
