Former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Freddie Solomon passed away at the age of 59 after a battle with cancer. The two-time Super Bowl champ was most famous for his contributions during the 1981-82 NFC Championship Game.

Solomon was known as "Fabulous Freddie" and spent decades doing community service. "Freddie Solomon was a treasure for us in San Francisco. What a humanitarian he has been for the city of Tampa," former 49ers safety Ronnie Lott told the Tampa Tribune.

Over his career from 1978 to 1985, Solomon played 151 games, caught 371 balls for 48 touchdowns.
