Did you know the San Francisco 49ers signed the top statistical quarterback in 2014 from arguably the best college football conference?
No, you didn’t miss any big news. The aforementioned player is Dylan Thompson, a signal-caller from South Carolina who landed with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent earlier this month.
As a redshirt senior last fall, Thompson led the Southeastern Conference in passing with 3,564 yards – a school record. He threw for 26 touchdowns as well.
Despite not hearing his name called at the draft, Thompson found himself in a relatively fortuitous situation with the 49ers.
