A day after Dwight Clark’s passing, the 49ers coaching staff wore red #87 shirts to honor the 49ers legend. The players watched highlights of Dwight and heard from Keena Turner before Tuesday’s practice began. It’s important they know the history of Dwight Clark because he was a huge part of the reason the 49ers are one of the most storied franchises in the NFL.
GM John Lynch spoke about honoring Dwight Clark some way this season. A patch on the jersey is a common way NFL teams honor figures. Also, it would not be surprising to see a game day in honor of Dwight during the season.
