Mike Bass, a cornerback, was drafted by the Packers in '67 and spent the '67 and '68 seasons on the Lions' tax squad before playing one game as a Lion at the end of the '68 season. Signed by the Redskins for '69, he started for seven seasons (later recognized by the team as one of the "80 Greatest Redskins").

John Henry Johnson & Frankie Albert were teammates on the '53 Calgary Stampeders. Think maybe Albert made a call to alert the Niners?
