Played HS football against Tom ("Tommy" back then) Brady, and a handful of lesser known guys who had varying length NFL careers.
One of our football coaches back then was a hard nosed former Niner fullback, Larry Schreiber, whose playing claim to fame had been scoring 3 TDs against the Cowboys in the playoffs as they built a huge lead, only to see Roger Staubach enter the game and lead a crazy 4th quarter comeback. My QB coach was Don Bunce who had initially backed up Plunkett, then led Stanford to a Rose Bowl win against Michingan as a senior.
I went to elementary and middle school with, and played against MLBers Eric Byrnes and John Gall, and crossed paths with a handful of others. Another friend from our little school bounced around a few NFL camps and played in the XFL.
