Heading into the offseason, there is a question mark at backup quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. With both Josh Dobbs and Brandon Allen set to hit free agency, who will fill out the quarterback room in Santa Clara? While there’s a chance Dobbs or Allen returns, the 49ers could take a flyer on a quarterback late in the draft like Indiana’s Kyle Rourke.

In his lone season at Indiana, Rourke threw for 3,042 yards and 29 touchdowns with only five interceptions.
