The 49ers have firmly established themselves as one of the NFL’s premier franchises during the league’s history as it enters its 100th season.

San Francisco has a slew of players who made their Hall of Fame careers in red and gold, and they’ve brought five Lombardi Trophies to the Bay Area.

A legacy like that requires a lot of talent to pass through the team’s locker room over their 74-year history. We tried to identify and organize the top 100 players to ever put on a 49ers uniform in celebration of the NFL’s 100th year.

100. P Andy Lee (2004-2014)

Lee was a three-time Pro Bowler and a three-time All-Pro in 11 years with San Francisco. He joined the club in 2005 amid some of the worst years in franchise history and became something of a fan favorite while being arguably one of the team’s three best players for several of those seasons.

99. CB Eric Davis (1990-1995)

Davis started 63 of 64 games between 1992 and 1995 when the 49ers were perennial Super Bowl contenders. He was a Pro Bowler and All-Pro in his final year with the club, and helped them win a Super Bowl in the 1994 season. Davis had 12 interceptions in six seasons with San Francisco, including 11 from 1992-1995.

98. DE Pierce Holt (1988-1992)

Holt is one of the unsung heroes of the very good 49ers teams of the late 1980s and early 1990s. He averaged 7 sacks per season in five seasons in red and gold, including 10.5 in his second year in 1989. He went to a Pro Bowl in 1992 and was part of two Super Bowl clubs in 1988 and 1989.

97. K Ray Wersching (1977-1987)

Wersching spent four years with the Chargers before heading to San Francisco in the 1977 season. He played out the final 11 years of his career in red and gold, helping the team win two Super Bowls while hitting 190 of his 261 field goal attempts. He was also 409 of 425 on extra points while leading the league in made PATs twice.

96. DE Kevin Fagan (1987-1993)

Like Holt, Fagan was another unsung hero of the 49ers’ perennial Super Bowl contenders. He played in San Francisco from 1987 until 1993, and started 74 of his 83 contests. He had a career-best 9.5 sacks in 1990, and posted 25.5 in his seven-year career.

95. DL Ray McDonald (2007-2014)

It took a while for the 2007 third-round pick to catch on with the 49ers. He started just nine games through his first four seasons, but became a powerhouse after that. He started all 59 games he played from 2011-2014, and racked up 112 tackles, 14.5 sacks and 27 quarterback hits. He had a tumultuous exit from the team, including a domestic violence arrest.

94. OL Chris Dalman (1993-1999)

Dalman needed patience to work his way into a starting job with San Francisco. After earning just five starts through his first three years, he went on to start all 59 games he played across his final four NFL seasons.

93. DL Isaac Sopoaga (2004-2012)

Sopoaga was a run-stopping force along the interior of the 49ers defensive line. Their 3-4 defense that helped carry them to three consecutive NFC title games between 2011-2013 needed a strong nose tackle, and Sopoaga filled in admirably in that position. Playing nose tackle kept him from racking up big-time stats, but he was a vital piece of some very good 49ers teams.

92. S Dashon Goldson (2007-2012)

Goldson’s presence in the middle of the secondary set the tone for the 49ers defense in the early 2010s. Goldson played 81 games with 64 starts across six seasons in San Francisco. He racked up 14 interceptions, 36 pass breakups, two Pro Bowl bids, an All-Pro nod and countless bone-jarring hits.

91. OL Howard Mudd (1964-1969)

The ninth-round pick out of Michigan State paid big dividends for the 49ers. After not starting any games as a rookie, Mudd went on to start all 56 of the teams games over the next four years. He was a three-time Pro Bowler and made an All-Pro team in 1968 at right guard.
