Harris Barton, 49ers teammate: “Dwight Clark is one of those guys that lights up the room – always smiling and making you feel great. When I heard the news, I like others in the 49er family, was devastated. DC changed the course of the 49ers with the catch. Don’t be surprised if he changes the course of this disease as well.
