On
Saturday Afternoon, September 19th, 49ers Great
Roger Craig conducted his third
Sports Gallery Signing at
our Palo Alto, CA Gallery.
Roger
Craig
joined
the San Francisco 49ers as a second-round draft
choice in 1983 out of the University of Nebraska
and was a vital member of the vaunted San Francisco
offense during three Super Bowl Championship
seasons. He set an NFL record for a running
back with 92 pass receptions in 1985, gaining
1,016 yards. He also became the first player
in history to gain more than 1,000 yards receiving
and more than 1,000 yards rushing in a single
season in 1985. Craig was named the NFC's Offensive
Player of the Year by United Press International
in 1988, when he rushed for 1,502 yards and
caught 76 passes for 534 yards. An All-NFL choice
in 1988 and a four-time Pro-Bowler, Roger scored
3 touchdowns when San Francisco beat the Miami
Dolphins 38-16 in Super Bowl XIX . And, of course,
Craig even played a season with the Silver &
Black towards the end of his career though he
will always bleed red and gold to Niner fans.
