Former 49ers tackle Len Rohde passed away

Sad news from the 49ers family. The team announced that former offensive tackle Len Rohde has passed away at the age of 79. The 49ers drafted Rohde in the fifth round of the 1960 NFL draft, and he spent his entire 15-season career with the team. He played in all 208 straight games during that time, starting 173 of them.

There are a couple articles out about Rohde, but I wanted to also link to a couple older articles that are pretty cool

The 49ers PR department put together this obituary on the life of Rohde.
