Gary Lee Plummer (born January 26, 1960 in Fremont, California), is a former NFL linebacker and current color commentator for the San Francisco 49ers radio broadcasts. He played his first year of college football at Ohlone College and then transferred to the University of California, Berkeley. After graduating from Berkeley, he went undrafted by the NFL, so he joined the Oakland Invaders of the now defunct USFL where he played for three seasons. When the USFL folded, Plummer was picked up by the San Diego Chargers where he played for eight years. He spent his final four years with the San Francisco 49ers where he helped shore up their run defense and played a key role in their 1994/1995 Super Bowl Championship.
