“Through the years the No. 7 has meant so much to the Stanford community,"
said David Shaw, the Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football. "You can't talk

“I am extremely humbled that Stanford has chosen to recognize me in this very
special way,” Elway said. “It’s a tremendous honor to join Cardinal legends
Ernie Nevers and Jim Plunkett with this distinction
