I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Jets and the 49ers.
Frank Gore
Frank Gore was a running back known for his longevity, power running, and consistency in the NFL. Drafted in the third round by the San Francisco 49ers in 2005, Gore spent ten seasons with the 49ers, where he became the franchise’s all-time leading rusher.
He later played for the Colts, Dolphins, Bills, and Jets, displaying remarkable durability. Gore finished his career third in NFL history in rushing yards with exactly 16,000 yards, behind only Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton.
Over his career, he earned five Pro Bowl selections and was named to the Second-team All-Pro in 2006. His remarkable career is highlighted by his longevity and consistent productivity in a position known for a relatively short career span.

Braylon Edwards
Braylon Edwards was a first-round pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, selected by the Cleveland Browns. Known for his speed and leaping ability, the wide receiver out of Michigan had an impressive start to his career, peaking in 2007 (with the Browns) when he made the Pro Bowl after recording 1289 yards receiving and 16 touchdowns.
Despite this, inconsistencies and drops plagued his tenure with the Browns. After four seasons in Cleveland, he had stints with the New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks.
Over his career, Edwards amassed over 5500 receiving yards and 40 touchdowns, highlighting his potential, though he may not have fully lived up to his lofty draft position.
