NFL
In the NFL Draft 2017 Mullens was not selected and was later by the San Francisco 49ers as a free agent committed. In the final season line-up of the 49ers he was not considered and was in the practice squad for the entire season .
After starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo tore his cruciate ligament in the third week of the 2018 season with the Kansas City Chiefs , Mullens moved up as a second replacement behind CJ Beathard in the active squad.
After a hand injury to substitute Beathard, this also dropped out for the game in the 9th week against the Oakland Raiders , so Mullens made his NFL debut. In the 34-3 win over the Raiders, Mullens impressed with three touchdown passes, 262 yards and 16 complete passes in 22 attempts and a quarterback rating of 151.9, making him the best quarterback result on his debut since the NFL merged with the AFL scored in 1970 (at least 20 attempts to pass).
