All new episode with a special guest I have been trying to get on for months, the GOAT himself, one of the top two Quarterbacks in UConn history, Shane Stafford. He shares his story, and it is captivating. Shane started playing football at 8 years old and even then he had a sharp mind for the game. One of his earliest memories was calling an audible and running a 59-yard QB sneak. He talks about his career at every level mirroring itself. In high school, he played on a team that ran the ball primarily and the starter was not getting it done. Shane was told to go in and never came out. As a junior and senior, he was a top talent, but was recruited later in the process. Once he visited UConn, the rest is history, he committed. We go over his career in Storrs, leading the best team in UConn history in 1998 and Shane still having some of the best passing statistics in UConn history. He went on to have a successful professional career playing in the Arena league for 8 years with the Tampa Bay Storm and Orlando Predator's. Also, he was signed by the Patriots and spent a season in NFL Europe with the Scottish Claymores, winning a World Bowl. He split time while in the last 4 games throwing 8 TDs to 1 INT. Shane has also been a coach in high school and Arena league. With such a spectacular mind for the game, we expect him back on the sidelines soon. Thank you Shane and we plan to definitely do more episodes with him and his teammates!
