We respect.
One of my most respected is Tramaine Brock. Reading his story about his humble beginnings yet so powerful guidance, and the 9ers giving basically $500 when no one else would, and he is where he is.....wow.
We can all learn from his family and himself.
Who else do you repsect?

In all seriousness, Frank Gore probably. Overcoming learning disabilities and staying on track throughout his life is something special. Then he carried this team through dark times, only to be rewarded with a perennial super bowl contender is something special. I'm sure he always dreamed of playing for a winner, especially the team that drafted him, I hope he gets his ring before Canton gets his bust. He is a legend.

Gore, Willis, Vernon, Staley, Boldin, Cowboy, Ian Williams. There's others but those are highly respectable.

Boone. Went from binge drinking and jumping on cars to a stud guard and family man.
Gore. He had devastating knee injuries in college and also with us and is still, at 30, 5th in the league in rushing. He's the only 30 year old in the top 20.
Willis. His back story speaks for itself.

Gore.
I can't even imagine those years without Gore. He's the heart and soul of this football team.
Gore is now surrounded by like-minded teammates – players who are talented and dedicated. That wasn't the case when he first became a starter seven seasons ago. After a galling loss, he ventured into the players' parking lot and saw some of his teammates laughing and joking. Gore immediately started crying and openly wondered what kind of team he was on.

Frank Gore.
Disability, torn knees, broken hip, s**tty coaches, terrible offenses, and yet this guy still couldn't be stopped. I love Gore.

I remember reading that a while back. Broke my heart. I'm so glad he got to experience the Super Bowl. Let's hope he gets to win one next.
