Jeff Driskel is your average late round rookie QB for the time being

The San Francisco 49ers have Jeff Driskel and Thad Lewis competing for a roster spot. Chip Kelly and Curtis Modkins chimed in on Driskel.

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback competition is focused on Blaine Gabbert and Colin Kaepernick, but Jeff Driskel and Thad Lewis find themselves competing for a roster spot as the third string quarterback. The 49ers signed Lewis to a one-year deal, and drafted Driskel in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Earlier this week, Chip Kelly was asked what he has seen from Driskel thus far. It was the kind of answer you’d expect about most any mid-to-late round rookie quarterback.
