This appeal came over the weekend after 49ers GM John Lynch congratulated Owens for bringing awareness to the Alzheimer's disease.

The 2018 Hall of Fame inductee spent eight of his 15 NFL seasons in San Francisco. T.O. made the most memorable catch of his career in the Niners' 1998 NFC Wild Card game vs. the Green Bay Packers.

"Owens! Owens! Owens!"

Can Owens, who's been out of the league since 2010, make an impact with Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers? The six-time Pro Bowler thinks so.

Sign him up John. He will fill the seats and move the chains!
