About Keena Turner
Keena Turner wore #58 for the San Francisco 49ers from 1980 to 1990. The team picked him in the second round of the NFL draft, and he landed in the middle of one of football’s most dominant eras.
Turner didn’t just rely on his athleticism. He shaped the team’s identity in ways that went far beyond the field.
Championship Legacy
Turner racked up four Super Bowl rings with the 49ers dynasty. He led as team captain during the huge 1984 championship run and showed a knack for leadership that teammates never forgot.
His peers honored him with the “Len Eshmont Award” for his courage and the spark he brought to the locker room. That’s not something you win by accident.
After he hung up his jersey, Turner moved into the front office. Now, as Vice President and Senior Advisor to the General Manager, he gets a close-up view of both the old legends and the current squad.
