No wonder Dylan Thompson fit into the San Francisco landscape last week as seamlessly as fog and cable cars. The former South Carolina quarterback looked right at home throwing touchdown passes to ex-Gamecock teammates Bruce Ellington and Busta Anderson in the 49ers’ final preseason game. Mike Davis, Thompson’s backfield pal at South Carolina last year, ran for 33 yards on seven carries in a 14-12 home victory over San Diego.
San Francisco head coach Jim Tomsula, the former Charleston Southern assistant coach and Post and Courier delivery man, thought the complete-game performance worthy enough to seal a spot for Thompson on the 49ers’ practice squad.
