Arriving in San Francisco in his fifth season, Garrison Hearst would have the best and also most traumatic time in football with the Bay Area team

Bruce Bosley was a Second Round Pick from West Virginia, and in his rookie year (1956), he was playing on the defensive side of the ball at Left Defensive End.  That would be short-lived as he only played six Games in 1957, but he rebounded in 1958, now playing at Left Guard.

Jeff Garcia was undrafted in 1994, but the San Jose State Quarterback went up north to play in the Canadian Football League for five seasons with the Calgary Stampeders. Garcia was successful in Canada, where he was a four-time CFL All-Star and was a Grey Cup Champion, and this got him signed by the 49ers to backup Steve Young.

Matt Hazeltine came from the University of California as a Fourth Round Pick in 1955, and the Linebacker remained in his native state through the majority of his pro career.
