49ers Defensive End Charles Mann

Defensive end Charles Mann might best be remembered for his time with the Washington Football Team, but it should be noted that he played his final season with the 49ers in 1994.

Mann was from Sacramento, California, where he attended and played football at Valley High School.

He would go on to play his college career out at Nevada before Washington selected him in the 1983 NFL Draft in the third round (84th overall).

Mann was selected to four Pro Bowls during his time in Washington and won two Super Bowls with them.

In 1994 he signed with the 49ers in what would be his final season and won his third Super Bowl as a proper send-off. And while only one of his 83 career sacks came with San Francisco, his veteran presence on a stout 49ers championship-caliber defense was surely important.
