The San Francisco 49ers have a franchise-altering decision in front of them. And it’s one they’ve sought out, having traded their first round pick in the next two drafts to move up from No. 12 all the way to No. 3 overall in this year’s cycle. It’s unclear just yet which quarterback the 49ers will be selecting, though reports have narrowed the list down to two potential prospects: Alabama’s Mac Jones and North Dakota State’s Trey lance.
But 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan may have tipped his hand, offering a nod to a New Orleans Saints legend along the way.
