Defensive end Fred Dean, the revolutionary pass-rusher whom many viewed as the piece that completed the 49ers’ first Super Bowl team, was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. The announcement was made in Phoenix, the day before Super Bowl XLII
It was Dean’s 18th year of eligibility. It was the second time he was announced as a finalist. He was watching at home in Ruston, La., when he received the news.
“All I can say is thank you,” Dean said. He said his heart was still racing.
Did you forget about his horrific injury? It's not just a hammy pull or something, it's the kind of injury ...

Congratulations Dean!!! Gawd it was great watching you do that famous speed rush! We miss the dominance we had back then!!!
I thought it was cool how he had warrior written on his taped cleat.
Fred Dean – undersized but overachieved. Chalk up another 49er for Canton. Who’s next?
Do you guys think we should switch to a 4-3 defense?Draft an outstanding D-lineman like Trevor Laws and pick up a D lineman and Linebacker in FA.
Look at those 80’s uniforms, the dull gold and classy red. I so excited were going back to the Bill Walsh Era Uniforms. York is amking a good decision by bringing back the class to the orginization. It’s like bringing back the yankee pinstripes from being hidden away. Halleyuah! Their back for good!
Will School you young turds on class, you taky bastards!
