Jed York interviews candidates

Team president Jed York had an interesting Q and A with David White of the Chronicle. York said he will interview former Broncos general manager Ted Sundquist. Also, York has interviewed former Rams executive Tony Softli, an African American candidate. The Rooney rule dictates that teams interview minority candidates for general manager jobs and head-coaching positions before making a hire.

Meanwhile the team also announced that linebacker Patrick Willis and defensive end Justin Smith made the Pro Bowl. For Willis this is his fourth straight Pro Bowl, while Smith made his second in a row. Tight end Vernon Davis (first alternate) and running back Frank Gore (fifth alternate) were named as alternates.
