Dave Parks first NFL player to be subject of an ISO.

Alex Smith. Should have taken Rodgers.

Rogers was picked #24.

So? Poor scouting.

RE: Niners trivia - BobK - 05-30-2020

And then Rogers sat on the bench for three years behind Farve

So?

At least you got Earl Morrall.

There was Lou "The Toe" Groza. The Niners had a kicker in the AAFC who was also "The Toe." Who?

Speaking of track coaches, Leo Long died about a month ago.  Long was the coach at Los Altos High School in the late 60’s through at least late 70’s.  He had a long dual record winning streak.  And of course, the ‘70 State Champions. Featuring Rick Brown who won the 440 880 and anchored the Mile relay to victory.  And Chris Adams who was the national record holder in the discus.  His record was bested by Scott Overton also of LAHS a few years later.

Long, as I’m sure Bobk and Phogge know was a Stanford grad.  And I believe one of the nations top javelin throwers at one time.

Leo Long was a very good javelin thrower at Stanford. He ranks 5th all time with the old style javelin which was Redesigned 33 years ago
