Posted by Alex Espinoza on September 27, 2012 – 2:54 PM

The Pro Football Hall of Fame released its 2013 inductee candidates on Thursday and the list is littered with 49ers. All-time San Francisco great Bryant Young is one of 13 first-year candidates on the ballot, which features 127 nominees from the field and the front office.

Young played his entire career for the 49ers from 1994-2007 and etched his name among the franchise’s greatest defensive players. The four-time Pro Bowler started 208 games, recording 89.5 sacks en route to becoming one of the best defensive linemen in 49ers history.

49ers Chief Executive Officer Jed York took to Twitter to voice his support for Young shortly after the announcement was made.

“Bryant Young is eligible for the HoF this year,” York wrote. “He deserves to be there. One of the best D-linemen ever. Good luck BY!”

There are 11 players or front office members with 49ers ties in the Class of 2013 nominees, including former owner Ed Debartolo, Jr., and Roger Craig. In all, 89 players, 14 coaches and 24 contributors are on the ballot, which will be whittled down to 25 semi-finalists and ultimately 15 finalists by the Hall of Fame Selection Committee.
