And, to this day, he remembers the words spoken to him by a legendary coach that ended it. From football to gymnastics to, yes, boxing, his obsession with the drawing applause and approval he received through competition and performance fueled him in every endeavor. By the time he got his athletic scholarship to St. Augustine High School, he performed in nonunion productions in choirs and with bands across New Orleans. Weathers says there are still records out there somewhere of him singing with a handful of companies.
But at the time football was still his top priority. His talents eventually landed him at San Diego State, as a transfer student, where he played defensive end for Hall of Fame coach Don Coryell. After that season, he went unselected in the 1970 NFL draft but his connection to an old friend helped him land on his feet. Hall had become a linebackers coach for the Raiders.
Weathers called him to let him know he was interested in Oakland, and he was given a shot at making the roster. So he changed positions to linebacker and played a large portion of his snaps on special teams. Weathers donned the number 49 for the 1970 season. Upshaw, the five-time All Pro guard, hooked the rookie by extending his arm and knocked Weathers off his feet.
Stabler and Weathers were both rookies under Madden in 1970. Today, Carl would be a safety.
Артисту было 76 лет, причины смерти не раскрываются.
Мы с глубокой печалью сообщаем о кончине Карла Уэзерса. Он мирно умер во сне в четверг, 1 февраля 2024 года. Карл был исключительным человеком, который прожил необыкновенную жизнь.
Все его любили. Мы с женой проводили с ним лучшие времена каждый раз, когда видели его. С любовью ко всей его семье, и Карл всегда будет известен как настоящая легенда», — уверен Сэндлер. Создатель «Мандалорца» Джон Фавро отметил, что был очень рад знакомству с Уэзерсом, который был героем его детства. Он был героем моего детства, с которым мне посчастливилось встретиться, а затем и поработать. Он обладал энергией и любопытством молодого человека в сочетании с мудростью, которую дала ему его богатая жизнь и карьера. Я от всей души соболезную его семье и бесчисленным поклонникам», — написал режиссер.
And hopefully I can inspire someone else to do good work as well," he told the Detroit News last year. In high school, athletics took him down another path but he would reunite with his first love later in life. Weathers played college football at San Diego State University — he majored in theatre — and went on to play for one season in the NFL, for the Oakland Raiders, in 1970. You needed some smarts because there were playbooks to study and film to study, to learn about the opposition on any given week.
