Ken Willard


The 49ers have been posting throwback photos for each of their opponents this year. I thought it was cool they posted this one cause I had no idea!

He has a pretty cool history too. He was drafted ahead of Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers. He played for the Niners and the St. Louis Cardinals football team. What are the odds.

He was also a pretty good college baseball player leading the ACC in HRs andturning down an offer from Ted Williams to play for the Red Sox!
