The third time was the charm for Terrell Owens. The former 49ers wide receiver was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday after he was passed over in his first two years of eligibility. Owens possesses first-ballot credentials, but it’s believed he was forced to wait because of his divisive locker-room personality. Meanwhile, the wait will continue for 49ers general manager John Lynch, a finalist for the fifth straight year who was not among the five modern-era selections. Lynch, a nine-time Pro Bowl safety with the Buccaneers and Broncos, was the only one among the final 15 candidates who had been a finalist on more three occasions.
