SANTA CLARA -- If you want to read a broad profile on Jeff Driskel and his up-and-down-and-up-again college career, click here. If you want to read a wonkier item on the new 49ers quarterback, read on.
I spoke to Tim Rattay, the former 49ers quarterback and current Louisiana Tech quarterbacks coach, about Driskel, who arrived in Ruston, La. last spring. Like Driskel, Rattay was a late pick, going in the seventh round to the 49ers in the same 2000 draft in which they used a third-round pick on Giovanni Carmazzi.
There wasn't a lot written about Rattay after that draft.
