The 49ers have often entered training camp with four quarterbacks under Kyle Shanahan. Last year, it was Brock Purdy, Mac Jones, Kurtis Rourke, Tanner Mordecai, and Carter Bradley. There was an extra quarterback in the fold with Rourke recovering from a knee injury.

The previous August, it was Purdy, Mordecai, Brandon Allen, and Josh Dobbs. In August 2023, It was Purdy, Allen, Sam Darnold, and Trey Lance.

The 49ers have four arms on the roster currently, with Purdy, Jones, Rourke, and Adrian Martinez. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, the Niners will work out former UFL MVP Jack Plummer for the Orlando Storm. Plummer led the league with 2,188 yards and had 17 touchdowns with only one interception in 10 games. Plummer went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft, but was waived by the Carolina Panthers last August during roster cuts.

The 49ers might want to give Brock Purdy rest during the next month, or need a quarterback to throw late in preseason games. To me, the team working out a quarterback is a sign they want to upgrade from Martinez. Plummer’s stat line would suggest he is the kind of quarterback Shanahan would gravitate toward.
