San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert will not be signing autographs for fans at the Santa Clara Convention Center March 7-9 because of the coronavirus outbreak.

He announced as much on social media, pointing to his eight-month-old son and the fact his wife, Devon, is pregnant with their second child while saying, "As a husband and father, it is my job to put my family first":

Cam Inman of the Mercury News reported stars such as Joe Montana, Steve Young and Klay Thompson are scheduled to be at the autograph show that, according to Gary Takahashi of GT Sports Marketing in Hawaii, is still scheduled to go on as planned.
