How did Ertz develop his clutch hands, which allowed him to haul in the game-tying touchdown against Chip Kelly's Oregon Ducks last season? He would catch tennis balls with one hand shot out of a ball machine every day. How many? Try 1,000.

Many other interesting tidbits included!

It must have been very painful for him to have one hand shot out of a machine every day.

Great find fullmetal.  My favorite quote:

"If you get into Stanford, you're going to Stanford," Lisa Ertz said. "There will be no more discussion."

Lisa Ertz has supplanted Lisa McCaffrey as my favorite Stanford football mom.

One thing I find interesting about Ertz is that he played high school basketball with Ryan Whalen and Mark Appel.  3 guys who were all drafted in different sports than the one they played together in high school, and who went to the same college.  That is probably not very common.

Monte Vista HS must be a pretty popular draw for Stanford.  My soph yr roommate was a Monte Vista alum though not an athlete there or at Stanford.
