49ers teammates rally around Dwight Clark

Dwight Clark revealed he had ALS on Sunday night and his announcement on former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr.’s website included a host of statements from many of those close to him.

Here are those sentiments, which include remarks from 49ers CEO Jed Yok, whose statement was released through the team:

“Dwight Clark is one of those guys that lights up the room - always smiling and making you feel great. When I heard the news, I like others in the 49er family, was devastated. DC changed the course of the 49ers with The Catch.
