In 1994, shortly after he purchased the New England Patriots, rookie owner Robert Kraft went west to learn from the best. Kraft arranged a meeting with 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo, who was presiding over a dynasty. Then-49ers president Carmen Policy recalls Kraft posed a flurry of cogent questions in his quest to replicate the 49ers' success. "This was a man that was coming about as far west as you can come in this country," Policy said. "And he was saying, 'I want to see how you guys have done it. I'm going to come into this new world and try to learn everything I can. And try to be the best that I can.' And you've seen what happened.

One former San Francisco 49ers player is making his opinion of Super Bowl 58 very clear. He believes his former team was dealt a bad hand in the matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas two months ago.

"And when we think about the Super Bowl as well, I think that the 49ers played against the refs as well, guys," Whitner told Adams. "I think that when we look at that film and you see bear hugs on those defensive ends, right? And you really see it in blatant moments in the game."

ESPN insider Adam Schefter recently shared his insights on the situation surrounding San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk during an appearance on the network's "NFL Live" show. Schefter clarified that while Aiyuk would like to remain with the 49ers, his priority is securing a contract that reflects his value, regardless of the team.
When questioned about Aiyuk's desire to stay with the team that selected him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Schefter responded, "Well, I think his desire to get paid is greater than his desire to stay in San Francisco, wherever that is. If the 49ers want to pay him, I'm sure he'd love to stay in San Francisco. If another team would like to pay him, I'm sure he'd like to go
