Their common link is obvious. Both Trent Edwards and John Elway were highly recruited quarterbacks coming out of high school and both wound up choosing Stanford to play their college ball. Though the two barely knew each other the university they shared in common was all they needed.
“It goes back to going to Stanford and everyone knows everyone,” said Edwards. “It seems like the guys at the top of a lot of businesses are Stanford grads and then there are a lot of Olympic athletes. There’s that Stanford connection once you get your degree from there and you’re in that crowd, you’re able to build relationships with fellow alumni.”
Edwards had first met the Hall of Fame quarterback after playing a game in college that Elway happened to attend. The meeting was brief, but for Edwards it was big.
