San Francisco 49ers rookie C.J. Beathard is set to surrender his starting quarterback role to veteran signal-caller Jimmy Garoppolo. The Niners had just acquired Garoppolo, Tom Brady’s former well-known back-up, from the New England Patriots late last month in exchange for a 2018 second-round draft pick.
Beathard, 23, was selected the by the Niners 104th overall in the third round of this year’s NFL Draft. He has played five times this season and has started four times for head coach Kyle Shanahan. He replaced former starter Brian Hoyer, who is now with the Patriots after the team released him following Garoppolo’s acquisition.
