No. 1: Joe Staley

I don’t even know where to start with Joe Staley.

Do I talk about six Pro Bowls that he’s been selected to?

Do I talk about how consistent he’s been on the field for the 49ers?

Do I talk about the loyalty to the team?

Do I talk about “The Joe Show?”

Do I talk about how good of a teammate he is and how much he positively impacts the locker room?

Well, I’ll just say that Joe Staley is truly a 49er for life. And even that is an understatement to what he has done and what he will continue to do in his career.
