  <p style=”text-align: left;”>Fun watch. 🍿 didn’t know about Baltimore Colts drama on draft day. damn that was crazy. Remember him being drafted by Steinbrenner.</p>
  I knew he went to HS in SoCal but didn’t know he really wasn’t a SoCal kid. Football coach dad had them Moving around a lot. Dad and John had a great relationship. That was cool to see.
  
  Didnt know he was pigeon toed as bad as the Duke.
  
  wont spoil it but college stuff was a lot of fun.
  
  man what a talent he was. Not the prettiest arm motion or running style but man the ball got to where he wanted it to. Some high arching dimes and was real pretty in the air.
  
  Lost 3 SBs early in his career. Badly. Man what a redemption arc. With help Of course from Terrell Davis 🫡 and Shannon Sharp. I do remember His helicopter play in the SB. Fun to rewatch.
  
  One team whole career (16 years). HOFer. Legend. One of 5 best all time. What an ending he had. 🏆

  Don’t quote me on everything but it does go something like this. Yes, dad Jack was a Washington state native and a coach that moved around. Started his coaching career at Port Aneles HS (where John was born) and then was hired at Grays Harbor CC in Aberdeen, next to his home town of Hoquiam, then spent a few years as an assistant at WSU in Pullman. Then Cal St Northridge(?) before San Jose St then Stanford. John spent his youth in Port Angeles and Pullman.
  
  To this day, John Elway is still the best college QB I have seen and would still be my 1st choice if I was to build a team.
