A former linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints, Parys Haralson has died at age 37. Haralson also served as San Francisco’s director of player engagement for two years after playing college ball at Tennessee before San Francisco selected him in the fifth round of the 2006 NFL draft. He was a two-time captain for the Volunteers and finished with 21 sacks.
