Brent Jones signed with the 49ers as a free agent from Santa Clara
University in 1987 and retired as a four-time Pro Bowler with three
Super Bowl rings at the end of the 1997 season. The tight end was known
for getting open in crowded zones over the middle, recording 417
receptions for 5,195 yards and 33 touchdowns. Brent Jones played his
final game in January 1998 with a torn calf muscle, an appropriate
finish given his history of playing through injury.
