Summary
On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan remember former 49ers pass rusher Aldon Smith, who passed away Saturday at the age of 36. The No. 7 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, Smith burst onto the scene in San Francisco and holds franchise records that still stand to this day. But just as quickly, Smith fell into turmoil that ultimately would limit his on-field production. Matt and Jennifer look back at a beloved player, teammate and person who captured the hearts of fans in his short time with the organization, and honor the memory of not just the player, but the man.
