You've probably seen San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan casually throwing passes during team practices. What about seeing him throw from one rooftop to another across the street with some pretty decent accuracy?
It looks like Shanahan was tossing footballs over the weekend while spending time with one of his former offensive linemen, Joe Staley. The throw was enough to impress Staley and other onlookers (h/t to Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports).
Hope everyone's having as good a 4th as Joe Staley and Kyle Shanahan (QB1) 🎯 pic.twitter.com/MStlgnwyGh

While the video was posted on July 4, it is unknown if the Shanahan-Staley reunion actually took place on the holiday. However, Staley did leave his own comment in response to the video.
Made it in the pizza oven from across the street. Called it. https://t.co/ky9wZ0Z5vj

Staley retired from football on April 25, 2020, following the 49ers' playoff run that ended with a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV. He spent his entire 13-year career with San Francisco, the team that drafted him No. 28 overall in 2007.
Staley was named to six Pro Bowls during his illustrious career, and remains a fan-favorite.
