The No. 1 security in 49ers historical past is fairly simple to determine, however the different remaining 9 are a little bit more durable.

Some would argue that Corridor of Famer Ronnie Lott was by far the most effective security in NFL historical past and never simply the No. 1 alternative for any San Francisco 49ers all-time listing on the place.

Granted, Lott performed in an period the place defenders may lay out punishing hits on opposing gamers, and that changed into Lott’s trademark regardless of making critical impacts in different areas of the sport throughout his legendary profession.

Nonetheless, those that obtained to observe him play will most likely agree that he was one of many two or three greatest ever, if not the very best.

The Niners have had just one Lott-like participant of their historical past relationship again to 1946, however there have been loads of different top-quality safeties over time, too.

Of the 147 video games he performed in, Phillips began 117 of them, and his defensive landing in 1970 was an enormous spotlight of his profession.

Moreover, Parrish is a member of the 49ers’ All-2000s group.

No. 4: Dwight Hicks (1979-1985)

Folks overlook that Lott was a cornerback early in his profession, and previous to him taking up as a full-time security, Dwight Hicks was in command of the ultimate line of the Niners protection.

And he was fairly legendary in that regard.

Hicks joined San Francisco in 1979 and recorded 5 interceptions that yr. From 1981 by means of 1984, he was a perennial Professional Bowler and secured second-team All-Professional honors after recording 9 interceptions in 1981 with a league-leading 239 return yards.

The group captain additionally had an important interception in opposition to the Cincinnati Bengals in Tremendous Bowl XVI earlier than finally being phased out by Lott’s place change in 1985.

If it weren’t for the ultimate participant on this listing, Hanks could be a simple alternative for the highest spot.

No. 1: Ronnie Lott (1981-1990)

Lott is the one 49ers security to be named to the Professional Soccer Corridor of Fame. If that is not purpose sufficient to be the No. 1 participant on this listing, what’s?

There are many different causes, although, not even together with the actual fact he’d be on most followers’ “Mt. Rushmore” of Niners stars as, maybe, the most effective defender to ever don the crimson and gold.
