There has been a bit of debate over the San Francisco 49ers decision to move up in the draft to select QB C.J. Beathard from Iowa in the third round. The quarterback met with the media during rookie minicamp and talked about the toughness that head coach Kyle Shanahan has spoken so much about.
I think it’s something you’re born with really. I grew up in a family with two brothers, two sisters, so a big family. Me and my brothers were always playing in the back yard, playing tackle football.
Beathard boasts that as the oldest, he hit the hardest, even breaking his younger brother’s collar bone at one point.
