During a “Dwight Clark Legacy Series” event — a charity event benefitting The Golden Heart Fund of San Francisco — former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith appeared on a panel with three other quarterbacks who have also been associated with the San Francisco 49ers: Brock Purdy, Jeff Garcia and Steve Young.
Smith spoke about the unique situation in which he found himself the 49ers had selected him out of Utah with the first overall pick of the 2005 NFL Draft: following Joe Montana, Young — and even Driskell — as San Francisco’s starter.
