71 days to 49ers kickoff: Who wore it best? Who wears it now?

The San Francisco 49ers season starts in 71 days. We take a look at jersey No. 71, which has not been worn in some time.

The San Francisco 49ers kick off the 2015 NFL regular season on Monday Night Football, on September 14. That game is now a mere 71 days away from kicking off their 2015 regular season. In the spirit of that approaching date, I thought I would steal this idea from our Oakland Raiders site.

Who wore it best: DL Keith Fahnhorst (1974-1987)

The number 71 has not been retired, but there is a clear-cut top dog when it comes to the history of the jersey.
