We can't forget Paul Hofer in 1980 against Dallas ... a bad knee injury. So he works his butt off and comes back in 1981, playing well for the 49ers, so what does "The Genius" do? He runs Hofer on a rain-soaked field against Houston with the playoffs already sown up and Hofer reinjuries the knee and never get his chance to play in the Super Bowl.
Also, Garrison Hearst, who was similar to Chris Johnson.
Jeff Fuller for the Niners had a bad neck injury and Napoleon McCallum had a bad injury as well.
