GOLDMINE• Jones decided to pop the question to his girlfriend, Kayla Fannin,

ahead of the San Francisco 49ers Monday Night Football contest against the Cleveland Browns. Fannin and family gathered on the sidelines for pregame photos when Jones distracted his girlfriend and dropped to a knee behind her. The emotional affair was fea-tured on the video boards across Levi’s® Stadium with the aid of teammate Solomon Thomas. “I was like ‘let’s do it on the field. I know some people you can talk to.’ I told him ‘Bro, this is your spe-cial day. You want to get it perfect,’” said Thomas. “We’re going to go to the right people and get this done the right way.’ And he did.”

• D.J.’s father, “Big Dave,” owns a BBQ and catering business which is based around his two sauces, Big Dave’s Texas Red and Big Dave’s All-American Hawaiian Bold Gold. Big Dave cooked for over 200 members of the 49ers family, from players to coaches and staff along with their signifi-cant others as the team finished 2019 mini-camp.
