GOLDMINE• Beathard comes from a family

steeped in football tradition. His grandfather, Bobby Beath-ard, spent 38 years working in the NFL, including 22 seasons as general manager of the Washington Redskins (1978-88) and San Diego Chargers (1989-2000). As a general manager of the Redskins, he served as the architect of Washington’s Super Bowl winning teams in 1982 (Super Bowl XVII) and 1987 (Super Bowl XXII). He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.

• Beathard became a father in December of 2016, just months be-fore being selected in the 3rd round by San Francisco. A year later, he celebrated his daughter Lyla’s first birthday at the conclusion of his rookie season. Beathard considers his daughter’s birth one of the greatest and proudest moments of his life. “The love I have experienced for her over this past year is something I never knew was possible,” Beathard said. “I am thankful for all of the joy she brings to my life.”

BEATHARD’S GOLDEN NUGGETS• His last name is pronounced BETH-urd.

• Comes from a family rich in football tradition as his grand-father, Bobby Beathard, spent 38 years working in the NFL, including 22 seasons as general manager of the Washington Redskins (1978-88) and San Diego Chargers (1989-2000). He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.

• Comes from a family who is equally as passionate about mu-sic as they are about sports. His father, Casey, played wide receiver at Elon College before becoming an accomplished country music songwriter who has penned hit songs for art-ists such as Billy Ray Cyrus and Kenny Chesney. His older brother, Tucker, was a standout baseball player who turned down a scholarship to Middle Tennessee and is now a rising country music singer and songwriter. Beathard’s youngest brother, Clay, also plays quarterback and was named Tennes-see’s “Mr. Football” for his division in 2014. Growing up, the Beathard brothers formed a band that performed at local talent shows. C.J. played lead guitar and wrote most of the songs, while Tucker played drums and Clay assisted on guitar.

• Played with fellow 49ers 2017 draft choice TE George Kittle at Iowa (2012-16).

GOLDMINE (CONTINUED)• Beathard and his teammates joined Levi’s in support of breast,

colon and pediatric cancer warriors at the Crucial Catch Fashion Show presented by Dignity Health on October 2, 2018 after posing for a photoshoot. 49ers players and cancer warriors took to the runway to show off their attire and share their stories of strength and courage with the audience.

GOLDMINE (CONTINUED)• NFL players had the opportunity to participate in the NFL’s annual

My Cause, My Cleats campaign during a designated home game between Weeks 13-15 of 2018. Beathard and his teammates repre-sented their respective causes with custom-designed cleats in an effort to raise awareness and funding. The Austen Everett Founda-tion works to empower kids in their fight against cancer through the strength and support of athletic teams.

• The 49ers worked alongside the humanitarian-relief organization Convoy of Hope on December 4, 2018, and hosted 1,500 guests in-need from Bay Area nonprofits and schools at Levi’s® Stadium for a free holiday resource fair. Beathard and his 49ers teammates distributed groceries, toys, books, shoes and other holiday offer-ings to the guests. The attendees also received haircuts, utilized health resources and took family portraits or professional head-shots. Convoy of Hope is a nonprofit organization that directs chil-dren’s feeding initiatives, hosts community outreach programs and provides disaster response resources to those in need in the Bay Area and throughout the world.

• Beathard and his teammates surprised guests of the CityTeam Men’s Program and House of Grace on November 20, 2018, at Levi’s Stadium. The group believed they were just taking a tour of the sta-dium, but they were in fact joining the 49ers players for a night full of exciting events. The guests received a make-over and haircut, selected a new outfit from Dockers, snapped a new headshot and then shared a Thanksgiving dinner with the 49ers players.

• The 49ers joined forces with Martha’s Kitchen of San Jose as part of their Community Tuesday kickoff event on September 11, 2018. Beathard and teammates took part in the event by serving dinner to nearly 200 residents in need, refilling beverages and bussing tables. Both the 49ers and Levi’s Stadium partner with Martha’s Kitchen throughout the year by donating excess food after stadi-um events. Martha’s Kitchen’s mission is to “feed the hungry with dignity, no questions asked, no judgements made.”

• During his time at Iowa, Beathard earned the nickname “Sunshine” from Hawkeye fans because his long, flowing hair resembled the character with the same nickname from the football movie “Re-member The Titans.” In 2015, he cut off his hair and donated it to Wigs For Kids, a non-profit organization that makes wigs to sup-port children who have lost their hair due to medical issues at no cost to children or their families.

• As part of the 49ers annual Thanksgiving celebrations, Beathard and his teammates visited Cityteam San Jose to serve a holiday feast to over 300 people in need in 2017. Guests enjoyed turkey along with all of the usual holiday sides, while getting to know the 49ers.

• In August of 2016, Beathard joined his younger brother, singer/songwriter Tucker Beathard, on stage at the first-ever concert at Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium. Tucker, one of country music’s rising stars, saw his song “Rock On” become a top-10 hit on Billboard’s country chart. While performing a new track called “I’ll Take On The World With You,” which he co-wrote about the bond between he and his siblings, Tucker brought his older brother and former childhood bandmate onto the stage for a moment the two will never forget. “Ever since C.J. started at Iowa, playing a show at Kinnick Stadium was one of those unreachable dreams that you never think will actually come true,” said Tucker. “Our whole fam-ily lives for sports and music…it’s what bonds us together going back to my grandpa and his years in the NFL. It was awesome to be invited to the Back Porch Revival and to see those two worlds collide in front of a stadium full of people. I’ll never forget it!”
