Fact of the day
Russ Francis was born in Seattle, Washington. Francis starred as a 49ers tight end from 1982-1987. Despite his pass-catching talent he often was reprimanded by Coach Bill Walsh for participating in dangerous hobbies like surfing, motorcycling and skydiving. Nevertheless, when the 49ers 1983 Rocklin training camp opened, Francis found himself in a pickle. “I needed to get to camp. The rookies were already there,” Francis said. “I went to Livermore and hired someone to fly me to Rocklin in a Cessna. When we flew over the field I strapped on my parachute and rolled out the plane door at about 4,000 feet. I landed away from the main field and quickly rolled up the chute so no one saw me. I don’t think Bill Walsh ever found out.”
