Zane Beadles as Samwell Tarly

If there’s one character who might actually resemble a real Game of Thrones actor, it’s new 49ers offensive guard Zane Beadles.

Hair and all.

In the series, Samwell Tarly is the lovable and fallible character who joins the Night’s Watch after failed efforts in his home land.

But put into the right scenario, Tarly is able to rise to the occasion and deliver knockout blows. Heck, he took down a White Walker!

Beadles may not be as lovable, but put into the right system — a zone-blocking scheme, in this case — he may thrive.

And there’s a bit of a resemblance there too.
