San Francisco has issues with Stafford

San Francisco will likely not be drafting Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford.

A report in the San Francisco Chronicle suggests Stafford was uncomfortable answering questions at the NFL combine last month from a team psychologist regarding his parents’ divorce.

Niners head coach Mike Singletary told KNBR (680 AM) in San Francisco this week that “if you’re going to look at drafting a guy in the first round, and you’re going to pay him millions of dollars, and asking him about a divorce about his parents, if that’s going to be an issue, uhhh, then you know what, maybe he doesn’t belong here.”

Stafford, a potential first-round draft pick, told the Detroit Free Press that the psychologist presumed Stafford had “unfinished business” about his parents’ split in high school.

Stafford said he answered no and inquired how much the doctor was being paid for the analysis.

San Francisco has anointed Shaun Hill its starting quarterback, but Singletary has implied that Hill and Alex Smith will compete for the job.

Stafford will have a private workout with the Detroit Lions, who hold the No. 1 overall pick, next week ahead of the April 25 NFL Draft.
