Gary Lee Plummer (born January 26, 1960 in Fremont, California), is a former National Football League linebacker and current color commentator for the San Francisco 49ers radio broadcasts.
Plummer played his first two years 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 United States Football League 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 Super Bowl Championship, Super Bowl XXIX.
At the end of Super Bowl XXIX, when victory was assured, 49er quarterback Steve Young, who had labored for many years in the shadow of Joe Montana, ran up and down the sideline yelling for someone to "pull this monkey off my back". It was Plummer, watched by millions on the national telecast, who came forward and knocked the imaginary simian off Young's shoulders.
