“Something else had been subconsciously troubling the 19-year-old. As it turns out, Gonzalez had been afraid of something much scarier than any ghost or fumbling the football in a rivalry game. He was deathly afraid of what he could do if only he tried.”

Senior staff writer Will Cooke tells the fascinating story of 14-time Pro Bowler Tony Gonzalez and his relationship with fear itself. As a standout student-athlete on both the Cal football and men’s basketball team, Gonzalez had high aspirations in one day becoming a Hall of Fame-caliber player. But the road to the glitz and glamour of stardom hadn’t come easy.
