DETROIT – One day before the current crop of Central Michigan Chippewas take to Ford Field for the Quick Lane Bowl, a pair of former CMU standouts were on the field on the professional level.
Former Chippewas greats Joe Staley and Nick Bellore suited up for the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday during their 32-17 loss to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.
Staley, who is in his ninth year as the 49ers’ left offensive tackle, has established himself as one of the NFL’s best as his position. A three-time All-Pro, Staley was recently selected to play in his fifth consecutive Pro Bowl.
