“Thank you 49ers for allowing me to represent something bigger than myself for two amazing seasons. Thank you to my fearless and loving coaches, 49ers staff including Laura Johnson and all of the E2K staff for supporting me and seeing something in me from day one.

“Thank you to my beautiful, intelligent, and talented teammates for treating me as a brother and pushing me to be a better man on and off the field. Thank you 49ers Faithful for all of the love, you are THE best fan base in the NFL.

“Lastly, thank you (young) Jonathan for taking every no as an opportunity to push even harder, for taking every bit of doubt from you peers as a reason to fight harder for your dreams, and for unapologetically being yourself even when the world around you tells you not to. I leave behind an amazing program under the best NFL franchise that I am so grateful to have been apart of. Cheers to pride, to love, and to breaking glass ceilings.”
