Former San Francisco 49er Bryant
Being a part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2022 has unique — and painful — meaning for former San Francisco 49ers defenseman Bryant Young. Colby's favorite number, his father, said during his induction speech at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium on Saturday. Afternoon, it was the 22nd.
Young's voice cracked even more when she spoke about how brave her son, who was diagnosed in 2014 at the age of 13, dealt with the news after being told in 2016 that cancer had spread and that treatments that were being made were no longer working.

A decisive moment caused the crowd to give Young a standing ovation.
Young was a four-time Pro Bowl selection, a two-time first-team All-Pro, and a member of the NFL All-Decade Team in the 1990s. He was also the NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 1999 after leading the NFL team with 11 sacks along with 20 quarterback pressures in his return from a broken leg.
