I met Brent Jones when I attended a retirement ceremony at a local high school. I still have his autograph.

    Two actually.

    First the good. Bowlero in Milpitas had a grand opening and they had Jerry Rice host the event. Happened to be my birthday too lmao. There was free food and he took a picture with almost everyone.

    Second was Kaepernick and it wasn’t as good. Back in like summer 2013, I was in Valley Fair walking inside Shiekh (RIP) which was next to American Eagle. While walking there I was 4-5 tall guys walking at the same time as me and I was confused as to why this 1 guy was wearing a short sleeve hoodie in the summer. While in the store I felt like I recognized his face. I saw his tattoos and I’m like wait… this is Colin Kaepernick. I Googled his tattoos on my phone and it matched to his. At this point I’m starstruck and I asked one of his friends if his homie was Kaepernick. He laughed and said no. Right after they walked really fast out of the store. I talked to the manager of the store and he said he thought it was Kaepernick too. 10 minutes later he had 2 mall security guards walking with him but no one approached him.

    I met a few members of the 1980’s teams at different celebrity events back in the day. But it was never anything more than the autograph line at those events.

    Someone I grew up with had a cousin who played for the Niners for a year or two (I believe he was a kicker). I might have met him at some point but don’t remember for sure. Grew up in a smallish town with a lot of cross connections, so it’s possible.
