Jed York

CEO SF 49ers

DeBartolo Jr. York became team president on December 28, 2008. In 2011, ESPN Columnist David Fleming referred to York as "kooky" and "goofy" when York declared that the 49ers would be in the Super Bowl. And then the 49ers did come within one game of backing up York's assertion, hosting the NFC Championship game against the New York Giants, eventually losing in overtime, 20-17. He is also the driving force behind making the concept of a new stadium a reality.
