The San Francisco 49ers have made a number of significant and important moves in the offseason to help get the team back to the Super Bowl after losing to the Ravens and after trading away quarterback Alex Smith, the team has worked on bringing in possible backups, including legend Joe Montana's son Nate for another workout.
The team previously worked out Nate during a rookie minicamp on a tryout for the team and now he took part in the one-day rookie camp on Friday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Montana will likely have a tough road to climb to make the team, especially after the 49ers traded for Colt McCoy from the Browns to serve as the new backup for Colin Kaepernick, who led the team to the Super Bowl last year.
Montana has bounced around during his career and played at Pasadena City College, Notre Dame and the University of Montana. Montana was stuck low on the depth chart at all his previous stops, forcing him to go to West Virginia Wesleyan College, where he played in nine games and threw for nearly 2,500 yards and 20 touchdowns. Montana has a number of talented sons, including Nick Montana, who played at Washington and is now competing to be the starter at Tulane after transferring.
Montana previously played at De La Salle and then went to Notre Dame in 2008 before transferring multiple times. After being at Pasadena City College and Notre Dame again, Montana went to the University of Montana in 2011, where he was a backup. Last season he had 2,480 passing yards and 19 touchdowns.
