A football hero, during my youth. Key player on some really good Niner teams, in the early '70s. And Jimmy was extremely well-regarded, on and off the field. Bruin and Niner legend, and a good guy.

There was never a better cornerback. There was never a classier player in the history of the NFL. 49er fans were privileged to have him on our team.
