Very interesting story, though it's mistaken when it says we recruited John Lynch as both a strong safety and quarterback. He was a quarterback all the way who begged the coaches to give him a shot on defense when it became apparent he was never going to get on the field as a quarterback. And the transition wasn't smooth, as Lynch notes in this story.

I love the part about Lynch and Barry Sanders:

One hit that stands out in Lynch’s mind was a hit against the Detroit Lions’ Barry Sanders–he remembers being one of the few to really get a good hit on Sanders.

“Barry, who never said anything, came up to me at the Pro Bowl that year and told me it was the hardest he’d ever been hit,” Lynch said, chuckling.

Maybe Barry Sanders Sr. does have an impression about Stanford that was made by John Lynch or maybe could?
