Family comes first. That's how Joe Kapp was raised, and those are the strongest memories that still remain for the former quarterback, even as the details of some of his impressive personal accomplishments on the football field fade from recollection.
Kapp is the only quarterback to have the distinction of playing in the Rose Bowl, Grey Cup and Super Bowl. The Mexican-American broke ground in another role when he was head coach at Cal for five years. He also served as president and general manager of the BC Lions, one of the teams he once played for in Canada.
