Breaking News: 49ers in potential agreement to Sign ‘Warrior’ Quarterback After NFL Draft…see more

“From both a psychological and bodily perspective. That is how he has always been from the day he arrived. That is who he is, without a doubt. We were able to find our quarterback with that quality. “My only regret is that he was hurt,” Longo continued.
Mordecai’s hand injury prevented him from throwing for more than 2,006 yards, nine touchdowns, and four interceptions in 2023. In addition, he ran for 304 yards and four touchdowns.

Unless he makes a lasting impression on the 49ers coaching staff that allows him to pass Allen or Dobbs, Mordecai can compete at camp and potentially make the practice squad. On the last day of the 2022 draft, the 49ers had a similar situation when they selected Purdy with the final pick.

Tanner Mordecai Had Greater Success Prior to the Badgers’ Loss
Originating from Waco, Texas, Mordecai spent three seasons as an undergraduate at Oklahoma, then spent two seasons at SMU before transferring to Wisconsin. Throughout his career, Mordecai passed for 9,857 yards, 85 touchdowns, and 27 interceptions.

He had his greatest seasons as a Mustang when he was a standout player at SMU. In 2021, Mordecai had 12 picks and completed 67.8% of his throws for 3,628 yards and 39 touchdowns. With 3,524 throwing yards, 33 touchdowns against 10 interceptions, he performed admirably in 2022.
For Toughness, Tanner Mordecai Overcame Fellow Badgers QB
Luke Fickell, a quarterback for the Badgers, remarked on Mordecai’s toughness in a similar manner to Longo. Last season, Fickell had to fill in for Mordecai, but following his return, Mordecai completed the season.

According to Fickell’s March Badger Notes, “there was never a hesitation at what he wanted to do and what he was going to do.” “There was no doubt as to whether he was going to play in this game or not. There’s a guy who played on a broken hand after three and a half weeks or four weeks, couldn’t clap for four weeks out there, I mean.”
