A loved retired San Francisco 49ers player is making their way back to football. Former 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman is joining the University of Maryland as a defensive analyst for their football team (h/t Kyle Madson at Niners Wire).
After being out of football for all of 2018, Bowman retired with the San Francisco 49ers symbolically in 2019. So that’s almost four years of him out of football, and it certainly seems like longer than that.
Bowman’s back, and it looks like he’ll be on the coaching floor. Bowman played college at Penn State, but he’s originally from Maryland, so the location makes sense given his high school background.
