When on the field, Jason Verrett has looked the part of a former first-round NFL draft pick. The problem is, actually being on the field has been few and far between.

The Chargers selected Verrett with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2014 draft out of TCU. Since then, however, he's only played in 25 career games. Verrett missed the entire 2018 season after suffering a torn Achilles while running a conditioning test before training camp. Verrett only played in one game due to a knee injury in 2017 and only four in 2016.

Cincinnati is 3 hours from West Lafayette (Purdue) and the 49ers are at Cincinnati the day after our game. We've already built this into our itinerary...

Pumped to see Verrett lined up against Andy.

He needs some good luck for a change.
