Jerry’s son Stephen, along with vice president of player personnel Will McClay, director of football administration Todd Williams and salary cap director Adam Prasifka are more frequently viewed as the faces of the inside-football operation now. When asked if they’ve evolved since their early days as the league’s scrappiest promotion roadshow, Stephen says, “You’d like to think so.” Jerry always told him that if you don’t get better, you’re getting worse. Stephen says this Xanadu they built in three years over vacant grassland in Frisco, which just 20 years ago had a population of a few thousand—it’s now 190,000—is evidence of that. The idea that players with increased financial awareness could have a small business network attached to the facility did not happen by accident.
This is a good reason why we get players drafter and re-signed.
