With the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro about to begin on Aug. 5th, let’s dig back through 49ers history and revisit some Olympians with connections to the team. Michael Carter – defensive tackle (1984-1992): Carter not only has three Super Bowl rings, but Olympic hardware as well. Carter played his entire nine-year career with the 49ers organization. Carter, a fifth-round draft pick out of SMU was a three-time Super Bowl Champion (XIX, XXIII, XIV), a three-time pro-bowler (1985, 1987, 1988), a three time first-team All-Pro (1986, 1987, 1988) and a second-team All-Pro in 1985.
