He wasn't with them for long. In fact, it was less than a season.

But years later, Mike Barber's memories of his days as a San Francisco 49er are quite vivid.

The former Winfield and Marshall great sat down with A.J. Good recently to talk about one of the three clubs he played for while in the National Football League.

Barber, who is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame for his passing-catching skills while at Marshall, was also a member of the Bengals and Buccaneers at the pro level.

His entire five-year NFL experience was special.

It all started out west with the 49ers. And that is something he will forever cherish.
