what was the name of the 49ers defender who shook his neck like a mad man?

Merton Hanks was a good player with tons of personality.

are you referring to Merton Hanks? He was good defensive Safety and one of my favorite 49ers. He aint no Ronnie Lot, but he was good.

He was a 5-time All-Pro selection and became well-known for his interceptions and returns, as well as for what became known as the "Funky Chicken" dance. The dance was also known as "The Duck," "The Waddle," "The Rag Doll," and "The Rubberneck." Television viewers during the 1990s were also astounded by the safety's abnormally long neck. Several 49ers teammates were rumored to have measured from his clavicle (collar bone) to mandible (jaw) and found it to be an amazing 11 1/4 inches. He was a member of the 1994 San Francisco team that won Super Bowl XXIX. Hanks finished his career with the Seattle Seahawks, retiring in 1999. He is now a senior manager and assistant director of operations for the National Football League, and regularly goes on speaking tours.

Merton Hanks. He was a free safety. He is now the head of the NFL's discipline department that fines you for being out of uniform guidelines, celebrations, and things of that natures.
