Jeff Garcia was undrafted in 1994, but the San Jose State Quarterback went up north to play in the Canadian Football League for five seasons with the Calgary Stampeders. Garcia was successful in Canada, where he was a four-time CFL All-Star and was a Grey Cup Champion, and this got him signed by the 49ers to backup Steve Young.
Matt Hazeltine came from the University of California as a Fourth Round Pick in 1955, and the Linebacker remained in his native state through the majority of his pro career.
Fred Quillan was a late round pick from Oregon in 1978, and the former Duck played all of his professional games in the National Football League with the team that drafted him, the San Francisco 49ers.
Frankie Albert was the 10th overall pick in 1942 by the Chicago Bears, but remember, the year in question was 1942. The Stanford graduate would serve in the Navy for World War II, and upon his return, he would opt to play for his home state for the Los Angeles Bulldogs of the Pacific Coast League, before joining the San Francisco 49ers of the upstart All-American Football Conference.
