Traveling Coug Walk-on

RE: We had a guy in my ward about 10 years ago who had played football . . .

I lived in Pleasanton CA in the mid 90s when Detmer was playing for the 49ers. He was in my ward and came to our Turkey Bowl. A man among boys, even at his size. His QB throws were amazing, but most impressive was when he played DB. He intercepted everything.
