MY DAD TOOK A DEFENSIVE coordinating job at Stanford in 1980, and I would go there after my summer job got out. I would play corner, trying to cover studs like Kenny Margerum while John Elway was throwing. I love training with the team to this day—I would say I’m even better than some of them at the bodyweight training. The strength coaches like to use it as a motivator for the players: “Head coach was able to do 12 rounds of this!”
