49ers Players Called Kyle Shanahan to Tell Him They Are Alive

Kyle Shanahan had a moment that he would love to have back. Shanahan tried to answer a question about whether Garoppolo would have a place on the roster after the draft. The 49ers used the third overall choice on North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance, the heir apparent to Garoppolo.

Shanahan later admitted he “totally bombed” his answer.

“I can’t guarantee that anybody in the world will be alive Sunday, so I can’t guarantee who will be on our roster on Sunday. So, that goes for all of us,” Shanahan said Monday.

Apparently some of his players called him on Sunday to  let them know they were still alive.

Take 2 sans typo:

This is tremendous. I’m told a group of #49ers players called Kyle Shanahan today to let him know they survived until Sunday. So good.

Shanahan deserved that.

What a bonehead comment.
