SANTA CLARA — Matt Breida’s 49ers career officially began roughly 49 miles north of where he’ll be playing Sunday in Tampa.
Go back about 1 1/2 years ago and you’ll find Breida in his Spring Hill hometown fielding calls from NFL teams during the draft. None drafted him. But the 49ers kept calling and won him over.
“You get that gut feeling that this was the right decision to make,” Breida recalled this week. “I’m happy I made this decision.”
