Dennis Georgatos of the San Jose Mercury News is reporting that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trent Dilfer will be honoring a former 49ers quarterback this upcoming season.
Dilfer, currently wearing #10, will be wearing John Brodie's previously retired #12 jersey this upcoming season in an effort to accomplish two objectives:
1. Increase the sentiment for Brodie to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame
2. Raise public awareness about stroke victims.
Brodie spent his entire 16-year NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers, after an All-American career at nearby Stanford University. Brodie, who suffered a stroke 6 years ago, spent 14 years on the Senior PGA tour, winning one tournament (1991).
NFL teams rarely "un-retire" jerseys at the request of a player, but Dilfer honoring a 49ers legend isn't being done without Brodie's blessing. The two Bay Area QB's are longtime friends, and Dilfer's motivation to do so is, as always, 100% pure.
