Quote:"My dad actually has a buddy Harris Barton, he actually didn't play at Stanford, but he lives in Palo Alto about two minutes from the campus and he was definitely pleased with my decision," McCaffrey said.

Harris Barton played 11 eleven years at OT for the 49ers in the late 80's and most of the 90's. Played in three (?)Super Bowls.  How Ed McCaffrey came to be friends with him is a mystery to me.  Maybe through financial dealings with a capital fund founded by players.

If they are still friends, then it probably wasn't because Ed was part of the venture fund.

Harris Barton probably could have gotten into Stanford and if he did, probably would have attended.  Very smart guy, as evidenced by his post-football playing career. 

Ed McCaffrey and Harris Barton won a Super Bowl on the 1994 Niners team, McCaffrey's only year with the team.  They probably became fast friends.

Barton played in college for the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and earned a degree in finance in 1987. As a high school player at Atlanta's Dunwoody High School, the Georgia native entertained more than 100 offers from colleges, including USC, Oklahoma and Notre Dame, according to Wikipedia. He founded Champion Charities, which raises money to fund brain tumor research at UCSF (his parents died of brain cancer).
