Chill-inducing trailer for 'Rise of the 49ers' documentary drops

The San Francisco 49ers are getting a documentary.

AMC and Bay Area native Tom Brady came together to put together a documentary that will dive deep into the 49ers’ rise to become one of the NFL’s all-time great dynasties during the 1980s and 1990s.

The trailer, which came out Thursday, features Brady interviewing 49ers greats like Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jerry Rice and others with clips from games and interviews. Brady is also set to narrate the entire documentary.

Via AMC:

Utilizing rare and never-before-seen footage from NFL Films, including video of team speechesand behind-the-scenes photos of San Francisco’s legendary head coach Bill Walsh, the serieswill feature incisive interviews with club legends (and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees)Montana, Rice, Young, Ronnie Lott, and Eddie DeBartolo Jr., among others. Each episodewill also feature on-camera contributions from Brady.

Here’s the full trailer. We challenge 49ers fans not to get chills:

It’ll be fun to see players like Montana and Young talk about that period of time with a fellow all-time great quarterback. Brady’s unique perspective as a Super Bowl winner and future Hall of Famer might give us some new insights into those great teams and the quarterback controversy with Montana and Young.

The two-part documentary is set to come out Sunday, Feb. 1 with the second part dropping the following day.
