Just added this to my collection. An autographed Willis player issued jersey from 2011, straight from his locker. He donated it to a charity auction I believe.

Nice one !!
I have Bryant Youngs and William "Bar None" Floyds .. signed jersey..

Steve Wallace also signed a non authentic helmet for me!!

JJ Stokes UCLA signed jersey..

Nice. One of my favorite jerseys is my William Floyd 1996 gamer.

52 (IMO) was always an ugly number to me... until Willis dawned it !!

Reebok and this design was the worst uniform we ever had, and it also made me wonder why Bar None wore 40 instead of his #44 at FSU..

He may not have wanted to have the same number as Rathman, who he had just replaced.

Why is this still in Ninertalk but Frank Gore is not?

I imagine the reason for that is that Frank Gore is still playing and he plays for the Buffalo Bills, not the San Francisco 49ers.

Once that changes (ie Frank retires) it's possible that we'll see Frank Gore's thread back in Niner talk.

Willis never played for anyone other than the 49ers, unlike Bowman. Frankie is still playing (now for his 4th team).

because Willis is a niner legend who never played for another team meanwhile Frank is a niner legend who is still active in the league on another roster?

Willis is one of my favorite LB of all time. He was so dominant. Hope he makes it in eventually

Willis should be a first-ballot selection. Though he didn't have a long career, the seven good years he had were as good as anybody in the modern-era.

Cowboy may take a couple of years to get in, but he will
