Mullens went from a UDFA to a starter after an injury to CJ Beathard in 2018, where he performed admirably and well enough to bump Beathard to QB3.</p> <p id="J7QSdt">Mullens was on the field far more than Shanahan would ever imagine, as he started 16 games for the 49ers. His starting record was 5-11, with 25 touchdowns and 22 interceptions coming in 19 total games.

Best of luck to him.</p></div>
