Kyle Shanahan appreciated the chance to clarify why he has a tattoo of Chris Simms’ initials on his ankle.
The 49ers coach was asked about that piece of ink Thursday while on Simms’ podcast, Bleacher Report’s Simms & Lefkoe. Shanahan and Simms played at Texas together — and since their fathers are each famous in the NFL, their correlating body art became a topic of conversation amongst the media over the years.
“I think I need to (explain it), because the misrepresentation of the story that happened with that tattoo has been rough my entire life,” Shanahan said, somewhat exaggerating.
