Howard Mudd, a three-time 49ers Pro Bowl offensive lineman and a longtime NFL assistant coach, died Wednesday, two weeks after suffering serious injuries in a motorcycle accident. He was 78.
Mudd was honored as a member of the NFL’s All-Decade Team for the 1960s for his dominant six-year run in San Francisco from 1964-69 that included being named an All-Pro twice and a Pro Bowler from 1966-68.
