In 1994, the San Francisco 49ers drafted a fellow by the name of Bryant Young. The following year, they took on Junior Bryant. Granted, while their names might generate some confusion, they are not exactly the same. However, their career track trends to be even more alike. The two were both defensive lineman, had played at the same college, Notre Dame, and they both nearly missed being drafted in the NFL. Young and Junior also played their entire professional careers for San Francisco.
