Lately, the San Francisco 49ers Studio team have been taking advantage of Facebook Live as an opportunity to provide some live Q&A with players. For those who have never seen Facebook Live, basically it's a live stream of content that includes an option for people to ask questions of those on video. You can then go back and watch it later. We do it every so often on the NN Facebook page, so give that a like if you want to check it out. You'll get a Facebook notification when we've gone live.
On Wednesday, Torrey Smith sat down with the studio to talk about a variety of topics. There were football-specific questions, but we also got to hear about some very random topics. My favorite question was probably the one about what kind of snacks he'll get at a gas station during a road trip. They also broke down three big plays he had last season, he answered some trivia questions, and he talked about a youth football team he is putting together.
I've embedded the video above, but I figured I would also list out the various questions asked of Smith. You can jump to whatever section you prefer. Facebook Live uses a countdown method as opposed to counting from zero, so that's why the time stamps are in reverse.
