The 49ers will add another player to the Pro Football Hall of Fame when Bryant Young is inducted Saturday. Young will join 22 other players who suited up for San Francisco at some point during their careers.
Fans can check out his induction beginning at 9:00am Pacific Time on NFL Network. Young will go in as part of an eight-person class that includes offensive tackle Tony Bosselli, wide receiver Cliff Branch, safety LeRoy Butler, official Art McNally, linebacker Sam Mills, defensive lineman Richard Seymour and coach Dick Vermeil.
Young landed in the NFL as a first-round pick of the 49ers in the 1994 draft. He quickly made an impact and started all 16 games for the eventual Super Bowl champions. He finished third in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting.
He finished his career in 2007 with 208 starts in 208 games. He was a four-time Pro Bowler, an All-Pro, a Comeback Player of the Year and a member of the Hall of Fame’s All-Decade Team for the 1990s. During his 14-year career, Young posted 627 tackles and 89.5 sacks. He had more than 5.0 sacks in a season in nine of his 14 years.
