Life of the Party: Joe Staley

This is probably the most obvious by far. Even though he is one of the oldest players on the 49ers roster, veteran left tackle Joe Staley has always been, and always will be, the life of the party.

From The Joe Show to his many humorous interviews and Mic’d Up sessions, Staley has proven to be one of the most personable players who you just know would go the hardest at any party. And not surprisingly, he’s one of the many Niners players often seen going crazy when the team supports their NHL counterparts, the Sharks, during their runs in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Maybe it should be called the Staley Cup playoffs.

It’s why Staley is universally loved by his teammates, the fans, and why he will be sorely missed when he hangs up the cleats.

Although one might guess Staley won’t go quietly into retirement, hopefully being the same personality in whatever roles and capacities he takes on once his NFL career comes to a close.
