Twitter might want to think twice, though. After all, how are they sure that really wasn’t Sharks forward Tomas Hertl actually under center in the 49ers’ 34-3 win?

Mullens told FOX Sports’ Erin Andrews that he probably won’t check his phone after the game, saving his discussions for close personal friends in his hometown of Birmingham, Ala.
