Blessed with incredible speed and elusiveness, Ted Ginn Jr. was
acquired in a trade with the Miami Dolphins in April of 2010. In 2011,
Ginn Jr. picked up NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors
vs. Sea. (9/11) after becoming the only 49er in franchise history to
return a kickoff and punt for a touchdown in the same game. He
finished the year ranked 3rd in the NFL averaging 27.6 yard per
kickoff return. One of the biggest influences in Ginn’s life has been
his high school football coach, his father, Ted Sr. The 9th overall selection
in the 2007 NFL Draft, Ginn Jr. is one of only 10 players in
NFL history to register 2 KORs for TDs in the same game [at NYJ
(11/1/09)].

// GOLDMINE
• Growing up in Cleveland, Ted had the benefit of having his father,
Ted Sr., as his coach and mentor. His father has been the football
coach at Glenville High School in Cleveland since 1997 and the track
coach there since 2002. In 1999, Glenville became the first Cleveland
Municipal School to reach the State Playoffs and made six subsequent
appearances from 2000 to 2005. Ted Jr. played for his father
during his prep career and credits his father with preparing him
for the future. “It helped a lot,” said Ted Jr. of having his father as
a coach. “It prepared me well for all different sorts of situations.
He never showed any favoritism towards me. In fact, he might have
been harder on me to make me an example. It prepared me well for
the next levels and now, because I played for him, I feel as though I
can adjust to any type of coach.”
