9. William Tim Anderson, Defensive Back, Ohio State

I honestly don’t know how to pad this out.

He was drafted 23rd overall in 1971.

He didn’t suit up for the 49ers until 1975, opting to play in Canada until then.

He started two games for the 49ers, before moving to the Buffalo Bills in 1976 before disappearing completely.

Like Stolhandske, Canada seemed to burn off any talent William Tim Anderson did have when he eventually found his way to the team.
