PEORIA, Ariz. -- For years, Clayton Richard, Zach Lee and Tyrell Jenkins have been highly regarded for their elite-level arms.
They aren't bad at throwing the baseball, either.
Before they committed to the diamond, the trio of Padres pitchers was just as adept with a football in their hands. Lee famously turned down a scholarship to play quarterback at LSU in 2010, when the Dodgers drafted him. Jenkins went through a similar process with Baylor, signing with the Cardinals instead.
Richard, meanwhile, took that next step and played college football.
