Ricky Watters (Years In The NFL: 1992-2001)
During his 10-season career in the NFL, Ricky “Running” Watters dazzled fans by proving that he is a great rusher and pass catcher. While he played for the 49ers, he won one Super Bowl. He was selected to Pro Bowl five times but somehow never earned an All-Pro selection. He finished his career with numbers that are at a Hall of Fame-level, including 14,891 total yards from scrimmage, 78 rushing touchdowns and 10,643 rushing yards. His career averages of 73.9 rushing yards per game and 4.1 yards per carry are definitely nothing to sneeze at.

Joe Perry (Years In The NFL: 1948-1963)
Joe “The Jet” Perry is another 49ers icon. The first black player who was named NFL MVP, he finished his career with 9,723 career yards, making him the NFL’s all-time rushing leader. The Hall of Famer was selected as an All-Pro two times and took the running back position to new heights. He had a 5.0 yards per rush attempt, which is still one of the all-time best marks in the league. The legendary Gale Sayers had the same yards per rush attempt.
