Stanford receiver Arcega-Whiteside presents a unique challenge for Trojans defensive backs
“You know when you get inside the 10-yard line, the fade is coming,” Helton said. “There was one time it looked like a basketball post-up. He looked like a power forward and went up and made the play.”
Helton made the observation casually, almost offhand. It was unclear if he actually knew that Arcega-Whiteside was a McDonald’s All-America nominee in 2014 as a basketball prep star in Dorman, S.C., or that both of Arcega-Whiteside’s parents, Joaquin Arcega and Valerie Whiteside, played professional basketball in Europe, or that two of his uncles played for Spain in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
