Here is a fun Monday-morning statistic for San Francisco 49ers fans: Quarterback Nick Mullens has more single-season passing yards against Seattle than any other quarterback in the Seahawks' history, according to the game-day statistics released by the 49ers on Sunday night.
That's impressive considering the Seahawks are about to close out their 43rd NFL season.

Mullens completed 20 of his 29 pass attempts for 275 yards with a touchdown and a passer rating of 110.6 during Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Seahawks. The victory at Levi's Stadium came just two weeks after the 49ers suffered an embarrassing 43-16 loss to Seattle at CenturyLink Field.
"We knew it was going to be a dogfight," Mullens said after the game. "I was just so proud that we found a way to win. Might not have been the prettiest. Everybody worked well together. When we were passing the ball, that was cool. But when we didn't do good passing the ball, we ran the ball well. Then, when we didn't convert on offense, the defense stepped up and then the special teams touchdown. So, if you want to look at a textbook, collective team win, I believe that was it."
The bulk of Mullens' passing yards came during the December 2 matchup when he threw for 414 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
"I felt like he was going to take shots and that he would feel confident about his game against us," Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin said after the game. "He came in and had 400 passing yards on us, so I'm telling the defense that he's going to feel confident about throwing against us."

Former NFL exec on 49ers' Brock Purdy: "I think he needs to find more fire"
Brock Purdy isn't one to seek the spotlight. He exudes politeness, respect, and an even-keeled demeanor when speaking to reporters during interviews. Nothing we've seen from the San Francisco 49ers quarterback's time off the field would indicate that it's a facade.
However, on the field, Purdy can show some fire, particularly after a big play or in an effort to ensure his teammates are on the same page as him. While praising the third-year quarterback, one unnamed former NFL executive expressed a desire to see more of that fire from Purdy in the future, believing it is crucial to his development.
"Brock Purdy is one of the most talented arms that I've seen," the former executive recently
PFF mock draft has 49ers adding cornerback with 'unique fluidity and size'
Analyst Steve Palazzolo unveiled a first-round mock draft for Pro Football Focus, attempting to forecast the selections for each NFL team within the top 32 picks. While the San Francisco 49ers concentrated on strengthening the defensive line in free agency, Palazzolo envisions the team continuing to fortify that side of the ball.
In his mock draft, Palazzolo predicts that the 49ers will select former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
"Tampa's unique fluidity and size for a cornerback make him worthy of a top-75 pick," reads the analysis from Pro Football Focus' big board. "If he can clean up his footwork, he can

Schrager mock draft has 49ers adding 'universally liked and respected' receiver
With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent.
Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries.
"McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a
