49ers to Stafford: We're Sorry, Please Come Visit Again

The 49ers have already hosted Georgia QB Matt Stafford last month and it resulted in a mini-feud,when the quarterback felt the 49ers officials went over the line with the line of questions. Stafford told Sports Illustrated’s Peter King that he was asked about his parents’ divorce during an interview with a 49ers team psychologist during the NFL Scouting Combine and was told he “sounded if he might have unfinished business.”

NFL.com’s Gil Brandt reports that the 49ers will host the Georgia prospect again on Monday for a visit. Stafford is widely believed to be the favorite to go No. 1 overall to the Detroit Lions in the NFL Draft on April 25, while San Francisco owns the No. 10 overall selection.

According to NBC Bay Area, 49ers coach Mike Singletary fueled the controversy last month after comments with Ralph Barbieri on KNBR, a local radio station.

“If you’re going to look at drafting a guy in the first round,” Singletary says in the interview, “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, then you know what, maybe he doesn’t belong here.”

The team's comments on the player make it obvious that he is not on their draft board, but need to bring in the Junior quarterback, this time to apologize, or at least make it look like they will to the public.
