San Francisco 49ers kicker Phil Dawson announced today that he will be wearing a new number for the 2016 season. He wore number 9 since signing with the 49ers in 2013. Dawson will wear the number 4 during the upcoming season.
Dawson wore the number during college and during his 14 seasons with the Cleveland Browns. He was forced to wear a different number when he joined the 49ers because punter Andy Lee was wearing the number 4.
After becoming an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year earlier this month,
Dawson signed a one-year deal to return to the 49ers.
Dawson, who turned 41 in January, is getting ready to enter his 18th season in the NFL. He converted 24 of 27 field goals in 2015 and has an 85.4 percent career completion percentage. Prior to coming to San Francisco, Dawson made the Pro Bowl in 2012.

Why Christian McCaffrey is excited about his 49ers future
It seemed so unfair. At least, that's what Rich Eisen thought when he heard rumors swirling that the San Francisco 49ers were looking to trade for star running back Christian McCaffrey. It just wasn't fair ... for the rest of the NFL.
Like so many, Eisen has a great deal of respect for head coach Kyle Shanahan's system and the already-talented roster he and general manager John Lynch have built over the years.
McCaffrey joined the Rich Eisen Show on Friday, and the two reflected on the trade that sent him from the Carolina Panthers to Shanahan's 49ers, a situation Eisen called "a perfect fit."
"I'm definitely excited," McCaffrey told Eisen. "Like you said, it's a great fit for me. It's a great fit for, really, any skill player. It's a great
