The Minnesota Vikings host the San Francisco 49ers tomorrow. The 49ers have an interesting history. They started in the All-America Football Conference, played there for all four years of the rival league’s existence, and jumped to the NFL in 1950. With five Lombardi Trophies, they boast a strong history. From 1981-95, the 49ers won all five of their titles. Those were their glory days. They were a dynasty. It took a while for them to return to anything close to that level but they have been serious contenders recently. They returned to the Super Bowl in 2012, 2019, and 2023. The 49ers experienced something new in each. After five wins, they finally lost Super Bowls. The San Francisco 49ers have been one of best, most talented, and most consistent teams in the league since Kyle Shanahan took the coaching reigns in 2017. So, their fans finally appear in numbers and are happy again. On the eve of the big game, here’s a look at some of the best players in the franchise history of the San Francisco 49ers.
