Nick Mullens ended last season as the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. He figures to be the favorite to land the backup job behind starter Jimmy Garoppolo when the 49ers kick off phase one of their offseason program on Monday.
The job won't be handed to Mullens, though. He'll have to compete with former third-round draft pick and fellow third-year quarterback C.J. Beathard. Beathard got the call to start after Garoppolo suffered a season-ending ACL injury in September.
Mullens, 24, started during a Week 9 matchup against the Oakland Raiders after Beathard was injured and never relinquished the job.
Mullens has been training this offseason with QB Country, a quarterback training and development center with multiple locations across the country. QB Country released the following video via Twitter of Mullens' sessions.
Mullens and Beathard will get the majority of offseason snaps until the rehabbing Garoppolo begins throwing in late-May or so.
The 49ers signed Mullens as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Miss in 2017. He completed 176-of-274 attempts (64.2 percent) for 2,277 yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions through eight starts with the 49ers in 2018.

Video reaction: C.J. Stroud raves about Ricky Pearsall pick; Pearsall and family thrilled to get unexpected call from 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers' selection of University of Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall with the 31st overall pick in round one of the 2024 NFL Draft certainly drew its share of reactions, both positive and negative.
Some pundits scratched their heads at the selection, but the viewpoint from NFL players seems quite different. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk sent his approval of the pick to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, calling it a "fire pick," while another player, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, raved about the pick
49ers mailbag: Will Brandon Aiyuk be on the roster on Friday morning? Will SF draft another quarterback?
We're just over 24 hours before round one of the NFL Draft begins. The San Francisco 49ers are scheduled to have their first pick in the opening round since 2021 when they drafted Trey Lance. That didn't turn out well, but there is optimism that the team will be able to make its roster better over the next few days.
GM John Lynch spoke on Monday and said there's a possibility the team could trade out of the first round. I doubt that would go over well with the fanbase, especially since they haven't had a first-rounder in the past two years. But if it's a good trade that lands the 49ers some quality picks, we could see that happen, especially if there aren't any players at pick 31 that the team is excited about.

George Kittle's message to Brandon Aiyuk amid contract talks with 49ers: "Be patient"
George Kittle made his sentiments clear in a recent conversation about his teammate, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. The tight end emphasized that he couldn't picture the San Francisco 49ers without Aiyuk and spoke highly of him in a discussion with Fox News Digital's Scott Thompson.
Throughout the offseason, Kittle has had several conversations with Aiyuk and empathizes with his situation. Reflecting on his own contract negotiation in 2020 before reaching an agreement with the 49ers, Kittle offered his best advice to Aiyuk: "Hey, be patient."
Kittle added, "It's just kind of the way the Niners do things. I didn't
