49ers' Bowman says contract extension motivating teammates (Yahoo Sports)

Linebacker NaVorro Bowman said his new extension with the San Francisco 49ers provides a good example for his younger teammates. ''You basically have to crawl before you can walk and understand that the guys that do make the big money in this league work hard and have to wait their time to get to that point,'' Bowman said. The four-time All-Pro missed all of 2014 after suffering tears in his left anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in the playoffs following the 2013 season.
