By all accounts, AR went to the school that offered him a scholar. He doesn't have a particular allegiance to UCB and may in fact harbor some grudge over the way they handled Tedford's dismissal.
Given the favortism Luck seems to show Fleener in the passing game, I don't think it's a stretch to think an alum of one school would treat a rival player differently. I'm sure that fades as production demonstrates the inherent value of the player, but I wouldn't be surprised if a Stanford player got fewer lucks from a UCB QB at the start of training camp. Of course, the Fleener-Luck connection is strengthened by them actually having played together.
I'm excited to have more Stanford players to follow in the NFL. It makes each game that much more interesting. And I'm happy that Ty is on a team with an elite QB. That can only help his career. If he was with the Texans or Browns, I would be disappointed for his sake. AR will increase Ty's earning potential and make for more highlights for us fans to enjoy.
