You can’t tell the story of the San Francisco 49ers without Dwight Clark.
Clark amassed 506 catches, 6,750 receiving yards, 48 touchdowns, two Super Bowl rings, two Pro Bowls and one All-Pro honor during his nine years with the franchise from 1979-87. His legend was cemented with one leaping grab in the 1981 NFC Championship Game against the Dallas Cowboys, but Clark’s legacy goes well beyond “The Catch”.
As you’re about to read, it was Clark’s kind heart, unrelenting competitiveness and timely humor that made one of the most beloved cornerstones in franchise history. Eddie DeBartolo Jr.
