Joe Montana’s Son, Nate, to Work Out For San Francisco 49ers
By Josh Sanchez
The San Francisco 49ers have one heck of a young quarterback in Colin Kaepernick, but they are looking in to the son of a former legend that could potentially work his way on to the roster as a back up. Reports are indicating that the son of Joe Montana, Nate, will participate in the 49ers local pro day later this week.
Because of what his father has done for the franchise, there will be a lot of eyes and attention on Montana’s work out and his status after the draft.
According to the Associated Press:
"A person with knowledge of the workout says the son of Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana is set to participate in the San Francisco 49ers’ local pro day Wednesday.Nate Montana will take part in the afternoon session for draft-eligible players at team headquarters, the person said Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the list of players hadn’t been announce"
Montana certainly has the size to be an NFL quarterback at 6-foot-4, 215-pounds, but it is highly unlikely that he will get drafted after an unproductive college career that had brief stops at Pasadena City College, Notre Dame, Montana and West Virginia Wesleyan.
While Montana is expected to go undrafted, he should get a shot to make a roster as an undrafted free agent.
