ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — One of David Lynch's earliest memories of his son Paxton playing football is captured in a photo. In it, a 3-or-4-year-old Paxton is in diapers throwing a football on the field at Florida State, a glimpse of the career he'd yearn to achieve many years later.
David, along with his wife, Stacie, and their older son, Evin, each offered Paxton the support to help him reach the NFL. Without them—his father's devotion to be involved, his mother's openness and comfort, his brother's drive to see him succeed—Paxton Lynch may never have gotten this far.
