The San Francisco 49ers handed out rookie uniform numbers, and we already have an interesting one. I'll have the full list later tonight, but for now, well played C.J Beathard. After wearing No. 16 at Iowa, he will be wearing No. 3 in San Francisco. Back in the day, Joe Montana wore No. 3 at Notre Dame, and then of course, No. 16 with the 49ers.
It sounds like numbers were assigned, but it would be interesting if he did end up sporting No. 3 all year. I don't think he'd necessarily be trying to make a statement, but it is entertaining either way!
This is pretty damn bold, frankly. Why?

Joe wore 3 at ND and 16 in SF. And was a 3rd rounder. https://t.co/GLeywfbO0F
