Career Highlights and Awards

Freddie Solomon (born January 11, 1953 in Sumter, South Carolina), is a former professional American football player who was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the 2nd round of the 1975 NFL Draft. A 5'11", 184-lb. wide receiver from the University of Tampa, Solomon played in 11 NFL seasons for the Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers from 1975 to 1985. Solomon made two Super Bowl appearances as a member of the 49ers.

On "The Catch", Dwight Clark's famous leaping grab that helped the 49ers beat Dallas in the 1981 NFC Championship Game, Solomon was the primary target on the play, but slipped coming out of his cut. Solomon made several key plays on the 49ers final drive of that game.
