The San Francisco 49ers have had an absolutely amazing season. They are on top of the NFC West and have had a mind-blowing 7 game-win streak going.

He has pulled off some big moves with winning touchdown passes to absolutely smoking Brady and the Bucs. And now with the playoffs nearby, Mr. Irrelevant has the biggest stage of his life to prove his worth. Recently in an interview, the young QB had some dichotomous words. While the QB made some tall claims for the 49ers, he also expressed humility for his own skills in comparison to some of the well-established QBs in the league.
