“When I learned that Bill Walsh wanted me, that meant something because he saw something in me that others didn’t,” Craig said.
“He didn’t just want a running back, he wanted a complete football player.
Craig was selected from the seniors category and entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2026 with Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, Luke Kuechly and Adam Vinatieri.
