Bobby Wagner could’ve ended up at Stanford, but Jim Harbaugh wasn’t interested

It is widely known that the Seattle Seahawks' future Hall of Famer Bobby Wagner was heavily doubted coming out of high school in California. Wagner himself told a story on Wednesday during his media availability that will make you laugh, especially since it involves former 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh.

According to Bobby, his high school coach went up to Jim Harbaugh at a bar in California when Harbaugh was the head coach at Stanford and told him “We got this linebacker, you should look at him.”

Harbaugh said no. Then, his high school coach may have fabricated a story to get Bobby a scholarship.
