Only a year into his San Francisco 49ers tenure, Antoine Bethea has rapidly become a fan favorite in the Bay Area not only for his consistent high-level play, but for his accessibility off of the field as well.
Bethea's knack for connecting with his supporters was on display yet again Tuesday morning as the safety took to Twitter to answer miscellaneous questions.
Among the topics discussed was Bethea's continued support for his old team, the Indianapolis Colts, his friendly rivalry with fellow safety Eric Reid and which 49ers alumni he admires most.
