Kyle Shanahan gives emotional speech to 49ers after death of C.J. Beathard's brother

Tragedy struck the San Francisco 49ers family on Saturday when Clayton Beathard, the younger brother of quarterback C.J. Beathard, was fatally stabbed outside of a Nashville bar.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was emotional while addressing his team and recalling the conversation he shared with Beathard, before the backup quarterback departed team facilities to be with his family.

"I spent an hour with him last night, and he was exactly like any one of us would’ve been last night — distraught, struggling to talk," Shanahan said of Beathard on Sunday. "The last thing he said to me when I walked out the door, he stopped me and just goes, 'You make sure the guys go and win this game.'"
