49ers 4th round pick, Quinton Patton, bought himself a ticket and flew to SF so he could get started training with the team. The problem is he didn't know that the NFL does not allow rookies to go to team facilities until rookie training camp (well, the 24 hours after the draft they are allowed, for team introductions and so on). So when Patton called Coach Harbaugh and said, "I'm here" it took a minute to figure out that the kid had flown to SF, rented a car and was trying to get to the training facility. Harbugh had to tell him to fly home until rookie camp started up.

The team then called the kids agent, and the agent said Patton had mentioned flying out but the agent thought it was just a joke.

The 49ers coaching staff are pretty happy about how eager this draft pick is.
