WACO, Texas — In the football ecosystem, there are few relationships more adversarial than that of quarterback and defensive back.
Jarrett Stidham feels this. He’s felt it since he was 5 or 6 years old — a decade and a half of fall seasons playing quarterback for a football team, save for two years: His sophomore year of high school, and this one.
That’s why his Thursday mornings this fall have been so important to him. Thursday mornings are spent at D1Sports, a steel-trussed and turf-lined athletic training facility five miles from Baylor University’s Simpson Center, where Stidham worked out the last time he was a quarterback for a football team.
