5 things to know about new Rams OT David Quessenberry, who beat cancer early in his career
5 things to know about new Rams OT David Quessenberry, who beat cancer early in his career Quessenberry was drafted in 2013 but didn't make his NFL debut until 4 years later After letting Joe Noteboom walk in free agency, the Los Angeles Rams needed help at the swing tackle position. They appear to have found it during OTAs by signing veteran lineman David Quessenberry to a one-year deal, adding the 34-year-old to their offensive tackle group. Quesenberry will first have to make the 53-man roster but given the lack of depth behind starters Alaric Jackson and Rob Havenstein, he'll have a good chance to stick around on his fifth NFL team. Here are five things to know about the veteran tackle who last played for the Vikings in 2023 and 2024. He didn't have any scholarship offers out of high school Quessenberry went to La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, Calif., so he grew up not too far from Los Angeles. During his time there, he played tight end and wasn't exactly on the radar of colleges. He didn't have a single scholarship offer out of high school, so he walked on at San Jose State in 2008 and eventually earned a scholarship there. He was one of the top non-scholarship players in the FBS in 2012 In 2012, Quessenberry was named a finalist for the Burlsworth Trophy, which is awarded to the best player in the FBS who began his career as a walk-on. It was given to Matt McGloin that year but simply being one of three finalists for the award was an accomplishment for the San Jose State lineman. He beat cancer early in his NFL career Quessenberry was a sixth-round pick by the Texans in 2013 but he didn't see the field until his fifth season in the NFL. That's because he suffered a season-ending foot injury in September of his rookie year and then in the summer of 2014, he was diagnosed with a "very rare and very aggressive" form of Lymphoma. He began chemotherapy right away and then got radiation treatment for six months. In February of 2015, the cancer went into remission. He finished his treatment in April of 2017, officially winning his battle with cancer. Quessenberry made his NFL debut in December of 2017 after being promoted from the Texans' practice squad, marking his first game as a pro since being drafted four-plus years earlier. He won the 2017 George Halas Award for overcoming adversity After making his way back from months of treatment and a multi-year absence due to Lymphoma, the NFL recognized Quessenberry's perseverance by naming him the George Halas Award recipient, which goes to the player, coach and staff member who overcomes the most adversity in a given year. He's 1 of 3 brothers to make it to the NFL Quessenberry isn't the only member of his family to reach the NFL. His brother Scott was a fifth-round pick in 2018, landing with the Chargers as the 155th overall pick. His other brother, Paul, signed with the Patriots as an undrafted rookie in 2020 after serving five years in the Marine Corps. He also had a stint with the Texans from 2021-2022.

Harry Edwards' indelible impact stretches beyond Bay Area. Who will follow in his footsteps?
Where is the next Harry Edwards? For almost 60 years, Edwards has been a voice of truth, a force for racial and social justice, a provocateur who will challenge and change you, provoke and enlighten you. And in these regressive times, when forces are working to undo decades of the progress and purpose to which he has devoted his life, Edwards — 82 and battling two forms of cancer — is 'just trying to get as much done with the time that I have.' Edwards, who will be inducted into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame on Thursday night, was at the forefront of the civil rights movement in the 1960s and has continued his work ever since. Though he is revered around the world, and his influence reaches far beyond the Bay Area, this has been home since 1960, when he ended up at — what he called at the time — 'San Jo-zy.' 'This is my home,' said Edwards, who has lived with his wife in the same home in Fremont for 55 years. 'Any time you are honored at home, it's tremendously humbling.' Who will be the next Edwards? 'Each generation molds and gives voice to the leaders of that era,' Edwards said. 'We've never been able to see these people coming. Nobody saw (Muhammad) Ali coming. Nobody saw Bill Russell coming. Nobody saw Barack Obama coming. 'We can't see these movements, these leaders, coming. But one thing history teaches us emphatically: They are on their way.' No one saw Edwards coming. Raised in East St. Louis, Ill., he came to California in hopes of playing football at USC, inspired because the Trojans had a Black quarterback (Willie Wood), a Jewish lineman (Ron Mix) and an assistant coach (Al Davis) who stood up publicly for them in the face of hate. But Edwards didn't have the grades and had to go to community college. He ended up at Fresno City College but couldn't handle the valley heat. A San Jose State coach also from East St. Louis — boxing legend Julius Menendez — recruited Edwards north. Edwards, figuring the climate would be more temperate, headed to the Bay Area. When he arrived, he met the 1960 Olympic boxing team that Menendez was coaching, which included a brash, trash-talking youngster Edwards' same age named Cassius Clay. 'I thought he was nuts,' Edwards remembers of Clay's animated manner. 'I had no idea the relationship we would have, that we would be involved in this much broader struggle.' Edwards played basketball and ran track for the Spartans and experienced firsthand the racism that Black athletes faced. After completing his degree, Edwards enrolled in a Ph.D. program at Cornell. He headed back to San Jose State to complete his dissertation, and began publishing books and teaching a sport and society class. The course was popular with athletes, including SJSU's famed Speed City track stars. The rest is history. Edwards' imprint is all over the Bay Area. There is a statue at San Jose State depicting John Carlos' and Tommie Smith's Black Power salute at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, a protest born from Edwards' Olympic Project for Human Rights. Nearby on campus is the Institute for the Study of Sport, Society and Social Change, which Edwards launched, the embodiment of an academic discipline that Edwards single-handedly created. Up the road are the San Francisco 49ers, where Edwards has served as a consultant since he was brought on by Bill Walsh in the mid-1980s. Together he and Walsh created the Bill Walsh Diversity Fellowship coaching program that has mentored many NFL coaches and continues to this day. Edwards has been a confidante of Colin Kaepernick and advised NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Edwards has consulted with other teams and leagues, including the Golden State Warriors, to advance minority involvement in management. His work with Major League Baseball to increase management opportunities for Black candidates resulted in the San Francisco Giants hiring Dusty Baker. But perhaps Edwards' greatest impact on the Bay Area can't be linked to a specific team or sports moment. It was his 30 years as a sociology professor at UC Berkeley, teaching his extremely popular Sociology of Sport class, which packed students into large lecture halls. There was a saying that if you had gone to Berkeley and hadn't taken Doc Edwards' class, you hadn't really gone to Berkeley. Captivating tens of thousands of students over the decades, he opened eyes and minds, informed and provoked, inspired and ignited. Edwards' lectures poked holes in conventional wisdom, tore down sports iconography and argued forcefully that sports not only reflects what America truly is but is also a powerful force for change. Cal athletes were warned not to take Edwards' class, because 'it will turn your head around,' Edwards remembers. But then he would look up into the lecture hall seats and see Jason Kidd or Ron Rivera or other prominent Cal Bears. Edwards said the university deliberately tried to schedule his class during what were practice windows for athletes, but they still managed to enroll. Would the Trump administration be targeting Edwards' discipline, the very epitome of an argument for diversity, equity and inclusion? 'Oh, I know what they'd think about my class,' Edwards said. 'Because I know what they think about the National Museum of African American History and Culture. They want to shut it down. And the largest exhibit in that museum is the leveling of the sports field.' Edwards' work is featured prominently in that museum, which is part of the Smithsonian Institution. In March, President Donald Trump issued an order targeting funding for programs he claims promote 'divisive narratives' and 'improper ideology' — specifically singling out the acclaimed and popular African American history museum in Washington, D.C. 'We are fighting battles that we thought were won,' Edwards said. 'We're fighting again over terrain we thought was conquered. Like Roe vs. Wade, like voting rights, like justice and equality under the law.' 'I feel extremely positive about this generation,' he said. 'Social media — which has a lot of problems, a lot of false information — is also a tool of organization and mobilization that movements have never had before.' Edwards changed his mind about getting treatment for his cancer, deciding to undergo grueling radiation therapy at the urging of his family. He has completed a documentary series called 'The Last Lectures.' He continues to work with the 49ers regularly. He spends as much time with his grandchildren as possible. 'What do you want to do with the time that you have?' he asks himself. 'Continue to contribute.' We don't know where the next Harry Edwards is. But this one has changed the world.
