T.O. immortalized in 49ers Hall of Fame

You Can Always Come Home

The relentless, gazing stare, the steely eyes fixed on space in the open field. The robust arms and bulging biceps flexed forward, ready to straight-arm and toss away an approaching defender. The soft hands with fingertips pointed, leading the way through an opposing defense. The thoroughbred legs, ready to launch ahead with power and speed and furious energy.

And, of course, the football tucked into chest, protected with purpose and ferocity, ready to be taken on a wild ride by a juggernaut wide receiver, one of the best ever seen in history.

That image is how Terrell Owens will be frozen in time and immortalized for eternity as one of the greatest 49ers of them all.

His life-sized statue, emblazoned in metallic silver, is the latest to go on display at the 49ers Museum inside Levi’s Stadium after Owens was honored in September as the 28th member of the team’s Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. 49ers Hall of Fame.

Keeping company with the greatest figures in franchise history — team personnel, coaches and players, owners and management types — Owens’ signature pose perfectly captures the essence of the mercurial wideout who spent eight glorious seasons making history with the 49ers.

“I went through a lot of photos, just tried to find something that represented me when I stepped on the field and reflected what I was about,” Owens said. “I think it represents really kind of what I brought to the table every Sunday. And that’s what you see in that pose, what really exemplified my play — and that was a lot of the speed and power and balance, a lot of passion, and a lot of finesse sometimes, and a lot of excitement. That’s what I brought.”

Making the right choice at QB

In the weeks that follow after you read this — and perhaps sometime even sooner than that — Kyle Shanahan and the rest of the 49ers organization will make a titanic decision that will have present, future and perhaps even everlasting implications for the franchise. It will chart the course for the team’s pivotal 2021 season while determining whether San Francisco really does have the juice to return to powerhouse status and again be considered a legitimate contender to get back to the Super Bowl.

TOP 10 Linebacker seasons

Fred Warner vaulted to stardom with a spectacular 2020 season — and the 49ers rewarded him this summer with a $95.225 million deal that makes him the highest-paid inside linebacker in NFL history. By today’s standards, Warner’s performance last year was worth the money as he posted an Approximate Value of 19 — matching the highest score ever recorded by a San Francisco defender according to a Pro Football Reference formula that puts a single number on each player-season across all positions since 1960. Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman (twice) also had seasons with an AV of 19 as they dominate this list of the greatest individual seasons by a linebacker in 49ers history.
