Craig, who broke rushing/receiving yard records and helped revolutionize the West Coast offense, refuses to let this define him — he’s still dad, husband, teammate, and football lover. He hopes his story sparks awareness for others. His former teammate Jamie Williams presented him in a moving pre-recorded ceremony honoring a career that changed the game.
