Guy Maurice McIntyre (born February 17, 1961) is an American former professional

guard in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Georgia Bulldogs. McIntyre played in three Super Bowls and five Pro Bowls as a member of the San Francisco 49ers. He was selected by the 49ers in the third round of the 1984 NFL draft.[1]

McIntyre was one of the first linemen in the modern age of the NFL to be used as a blocking back/fullback (in 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, with William Perry, the "Refrigerator" as the blocking back, though Perry would also be used as a runner.[2]

McIntyre starred at the University of Georgia from 1979-1983, where he was a team captain in 1983 and an SEC champion in 1981 and 1982. The Thomasville native won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy in 1983 - or best SEC lineman - as voted by SEC coaches. He was named All-SEC in 1982 and 1983 and a second-team All American in 1983.

McIntyre attended Thomasville High School, where he played high school football for the Bulldogs.
