Report: Shanahan wants to bring QB Schaub to 49ers

The Falcons backup quarterback could follow offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan to the 49ers, who can officially hire Shanahan after Super Bowl LI on Sunday, ESPN reported. Schaub surrendered his role after a stretch during which he had an interception returned for a touchdown in an NFL-record four straight games. In 2009, with Shanahan, Schaub led the NFL in passing yards (4,770) and also had career-highs in touchdown passes (29) and passer rating (98.6). Schaub, a Pro Bowl selection in 2009 and 2012, ranks 10th among active quarterback in passer rating (89.1), 15th in passing yards (24,867) and 17th in touchdowns (133).
