49ers to add 33rd member to Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. San Francisco 49ers Hall of Fame

The Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. San Francisco 49ers Hall of Fame is getting a new member. The 49ers on Monday announced tight end Brent Jones will be inducted into the team's Hall of Fame and become the 33rd player enshrined there. He's the first tight end to join the exclusive club. It's unclear when the team will honor Jones. They typically do so on a home game day. Advertisement 'Receiving the call from Jed (York) was incredibly emotional for me, something that I will remember forever,' said Jones in a statement released by the team. 'It is truly the greatest honor of my life to be alongside the legends that comprise the San Francisco 49ers Hall of Fame, one of the greatest franchises in all of professional sports. I want to sincerely thank my coaches and the teammates who poured into me and allowed me to be successful on and off the field.' Jones was a fifth-round pick of the Steelers in 1986, but he didn't debut in the NFL until the following season with the 49ers. He wound up spending his entire 11-year career with San Francisco and started 125 of the 143 games he played as a pro. From 1989-95, Jones had at least 500 receiving yards in every season. He finished his career with 417 catches, 5,195 receiving yards and 33 touchdowns. Jones earned four Pro Bowl trips and two Second-Team All-Pro nods in his career. He added another 60 catches, 740 yards and five touchdowns in 21 playoff games, and was part of three Super Bowl winners.
