Legendary 49ers running back Roger Craig is once again on the cusp of finally being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was announced as one of 12 senior candidate semifinalists for the 2024 Hall of Fame class.
Craig set a new standard for NFL running backs during his eight-year tenure with the 49ers. In 1985 he led the NFL with 92 receptions while becoming the first player to eclipse 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards in the same season. Only two players (Marshall Faulk and Christian McCaffrey) have done it since.
