Guy Maurice McIntyre (born February 17, 1961) is an American former football guard who played in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Georgia Bulldogs and was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round of the 1984 NFL draft.[1] McIntyre played in three Super Bowls and five Pro Bowls with the 49ers.
McIntyre was one of the first linemen in the modern age of the NFL to be used as a blocking fullback in the Bill Walsh's "angus" short-yardage formation; it was when this offense was used in the 1984 NFC Championship Game in the defeat of the Chicago Bears that motivated Bears coach Mike Ditka to use the same formation the following year.[2]
