I like Emmitt and always have, but what decent dad wouldn't say the exact same thing? Where's the big story here?

It's Stanford. Kid, get in there, building those Silicon Valley connections, maybe do a startup and you're good to go.

Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders are two of the best. Oh, and they were pretty good at football too.

Emmitt was good but no where near the talent of Barry Sanders.

Not to mention, it is Stanford. Phenomenal academic school. If he applies himself, that is a great education to have in case football is not his endgame.
