In an Instagram post, Bourne expressed his heartfelt thanks to the 49ers fan base with an emotional message:

"Letter to the faithful! You guys will always hold a special place in my heart! I use these pics because it brings me back to the beginning! Just a young buck trying to make his dream come true! And you guys welcomed me with open arms! That’s why I brought the energy! Because of you guys! I’ve come a long way! But it wouldn’t have been possible without the beginnings! So some memory lane pics my mom sent me felt right in this farewell post. Thank you @49ers see y’all soon"

This message was not just a thank you, but a heartfelt goodbye from Bourne to the San Francisco fans. The images he posted were also special moments in his career, reminding him of the tough early days and how warmly the team and fans welcomed him.

Kendrick Bourne joined the San Francisco 49ers in the 2025 season and quickly established his place in the team’s offense. He made significant contributions and was a key part of the 49ers’ offensive depth, especially when the team faced injuries.

While Bourne’s 2025 season wasn’t the best of his career, the love and support from the San Francisco fans were ever-present. He not only provided excellent plays but also brought positive energy, making him an integral part of the team.

Right after Bourne’s farewell, George Kittle, one of his closest teammates, immediately sent a message to Bourne on Instagram. Kittle wrote: “No energy like you on the field! Good luck brother.” This was a gesture of respect and recognition for Bourne’s contributions over the years.
