No. 2: Kick Returner Abe Woodson

Dangerous. Fast. Electric.

All words to describe 49ers great Abe Woodson.

Woodson changed the special teams game, averaging a stunning 29.4-average yards per kick return, which is the highest average of all San Francisco kick returners.

Woodson rightfully earned five Pro Bowls and two first-team All-Pro nods to his belt due to his game-changing skill on the field.
