Few franchises have given their fans as much to cheer about as the San Francisco 49ers, and that legacy shines brightest in Canton. Here is every 49er who earned a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Joe Montana: Inducted 1979
Joe Montana was the heartbeat of the 49ers dynasty, leading San Francisco to four Super Bowl championships and earning a reputation as the coolest quarterback to ever play the game. His poise under pressure became the stuff of legend, and his connection with this city and this team remains one of the most cherished relationships in NFL history. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990.

Steve Young: Inducted 1987
Steve Young stepped into one of the most impossible situations in sports, following Joe Montana, and somehow made it look effortless. He brought a combination of arm talent and athleticism that had never quite been seen at quarterback, and he capped his 49ers career with a Super Bowl performance for the ages. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005.
