    Out of all his accolades, and he has many, you left out 3 important facts: 1) With the Bucs John Lynch and Mike Alstott had a no hitting each other rule implemented by Herm Edwards for the safety of the entire solar system. 2) In a game he once knocked out cold his brother in law (Mrs. Lynch's brother) who played TE for the bears. 3) Used his helmet like a weapon probably more than AJ.

    We are blessed as niners fans to have such a humble yet strong leader as a GM. What him and Kyle and the rest of that front office and staff have done with the niners is nothing short of amazing. I hope his legacy as a niners GM is just getting started! Nothing but love and respect for John Lynch. What a role model.

    John was great; and Pat, great job for letting him speak uninterrupted; keep up the good work!
  • @suncatblue
    Wow, John Lynch seems like a truly solid dude. Great storyteller, too.

    Listen closely all you NFL owners. This is the type of professional you need to hire. Not some verbal diarrhea car salesman that you tend to hire.

    The difference in personalities between this and the Poles interview is night and day. John has so much charisma, it’s hard to hate the 9ers

    It took me a hot minute to appreciate pat mcafee, but I’m on board

    What a great interview. Big (and old) 49ers fan going back to 1955. Our GM, John Lynch, comes across so well in this interview. Go 49ers!
  • I'm from Jersey (Passaic), so when he mentioned Craig "Ironhead" Heyward. I knew exactly who he was talking about. Yeah, that man was a beast when he played for Passaic High School. God rest his soul 🙏.

    all the other GMs should use this interview as a learning process...

    49ers are very lucky to have him as the GM. They find studs to fit any scheme they want to do and it works. It's unreal how tactical they are with their picks each year. Trey Lance was a major bust but they couldn't have predicted all his injuries.

    Wow, John Lynch seems like a truly solid dude. You can see why he is the perfect fit for the Niners and why this team has been consistently good!
  • @mykeleemoce4931
    C’mon Pat. Lynch set the bar. Let’s get AJ hooked up with that camera setup!!!

    I've been a Bucs fan since the late 90s and John Lynch is my all time favorite player. Watching him knock people's heads off with that legendary late 90s Bucs D was incredible. His nickname within the defense was Friendly Fire because they were all trying to avoid the missile flying up from the secondary. Definitely a HOF human!

    John Lynch is the best! I’m a Broncos fan and it makes me so sad that we hired Vance Joseph in 2017 and missed out on the possible Shanahan/Lynch duo. Glad they’re both having success in SF though.
