It only takes one great start to get the hype train (and t-shirt production) going. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens was wildly impressive in his debut against the Oakland Raiders, and will make his second start this Monday against the New York Giants.
Given the Thursday nature of Mullens debut, the 49ers had fewer media obligations shortly after the game. They returned to practice this week, and we’ve heard from Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch about Mullens’ debut. And naturally, the origin story has been playing big this week in the media.
