49ers begin process of building Tom Rathman’s Hall of Fame statue

The San Francisco 49ers are inducting former running backs coach and fullback Tom Rathman into the team Hall of Fame later this fall. Each player inducted into the Hall of Fame gets a statue in his honor added to the 49ers Museum. Here are some examples from the Levi’s Stadium website. You can get tickets here to visit the museum.

Earlier this week, the team posted some pictures as the statue process gets underway for Rathman. They show him getting a cast done of his face. I don’t imagine the body is easy to make, but they don’t have to worry about the specifics that we often see with a face.
