Picking four legends for the San Francisco 49ers Mount Rushmore sounds easy... until you look at everyone who gets left out. Joe Montana, Steve Young, Ronnie Lott and Jerry Rice are four obvious names in the conversation. But what about Bill Walsh, Charles Haley, Roger Craig and Terrell Owens? Walsh helped build the dynasty. Haley won five Super Bowl rings. Craig made NFL history with 1,000 rushing and 1,000 receiving yards in one season. And Owens brought explosive playmaking to San Francisco. So who deserves those four spots? I broke down all four picks and the legends who narrowly missed out in the full video. Watch it and tell me your 49ers Mount Rushmore in the comments! #nfl #49ers #sanfrancisco49ers #nflhistory #49ersLegends #footballdebate
Who REALLY Belongs on the 49ers Mount Rushmore? 🤔
Joe Montana was so sick during a college football game that doctors were giving him chicken soup in the locker room. His body temperature had dropped, and he was battling hypothermia. But Montana wasn't finished. He returned in the fourth quarter against Houston and led an incredible comeback. That performance helped build the reputation behind his famous nickname, "The Comeback Kid." And that was just the beginning. Montana went on to win four Super Bowls, earn three Super Bowl MVP awards, and deliver one of the most iconic plays in NFL history: The Catch. But Joe Montana wasn't the only 49ers legend who had to prove people wrong. Watch the full 49ers Mount Rushmore video to hear the stories of Montana, Jerry Rice, Steve Young and Ronnie Lott! #nfl #JoeMontana #49ers #sanfrancisco49ers #nflhistory #footballlegends
Joe Montana Won a Game While Battling Hypothermia 😳
Before Jerry Rice became one of the greatest wide receivers in NFL history, he was catching something very different... bricks. Growing up in Mississippi, Rice helped his father with bricklaying work. He and his brothers caught bricks thrown through the air, and dropping one could cost them part of the day's pay. That work ethic followed him to football. Despite playing Division I-AA, Rice set 18 records, became a first-round pick after the 49ers traded up for him, and went on to build a legendary career. 20 seasons. More than 22,000 receiving yards. Over 200 touchdowns. Three Super Bowl rings. And even after reaching the top, he kept training alone. This is one of four incredible stories behind my 49ers Mount Rushmore, featuring Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Steve Young and Ronnie Lott.

The UFL’s newest franchise, the Rhode Island Breakers, is a masterclass in authentic regional branding! 🏈🌊 By pairing a classic spring football moniker with hyper-local Ocean State DNA—featuring a lighthouse integrated into the "RI" mark and a coastal palette of Riptide Blue, Nor’easter Navy, and Beacon Yellow—the league built instant cultural equity before a single snap is played at Centreville Bank Stadium. Instead of generic expansion tropes, the Breakers tap into New England maritime grit and a rabid Northeast football market hungry for pro spring action.
