Comment: Yes, this can certainly be a hoax, although whether it's blatantly so is perhaps debatable. Anyway, as I'm not sufficiently familiar with 49ers line-ups from the 1980s to say whether this indeed is one, or merely an unreferenced BLP on a non-notable player, I'll have to leave it for a more knowledgeable admin to make that call.

Julian Tran (born March 4, 1958) in Melbourne, Australia is a former American football quarterback who played in the National Football League for the [[San Francisco 49ers] from 1981 to 1986. Serving primarily as a backup to Hall of Famer Joe Montana, Tran was known for his reliable arm, quick decision-making, and strong leadership presence in the locker room. Though he rarely started, he played a critical role in practice and preparation during the 49ers' early dynasty years, including their victories in Super Bowls XVI and XIX. Tran saw limited action during regular-season games but earned the respect of teammates and coaches alike for his professionalism and readiness when called upon. A standout at Stanford University prior to his NFL career, Tran is often remembered as a key supporting figure in one of the most dominant eras in 49ers history. After retiring from football, he transitioned into coaching and community outreach in the Bay Area.
