Tom Rathman to be inducted into 49ers hall of fame

Tom Rathman won't be part of the 49ers' coaching staff this season, but he will be featured at Levi's Stadium.

The team announced Tuesday that Rathman, who spent eight seasons as a fullback in San Francisco and another 14 as the team's running backs coach, would be added to the team hall of fame at the stadium.

A press conference will be held Wednesday.

"No one epitomizes being a 49er more than Tom Rathman," CEO Jed York wrote on Twitter.

“I look at him like a father," said former 49ers running back Frank Gore, who is now with the Colts.
