Dave Lapham: Reminiscing About Former Teammate Dick Jauron

2/10/2025
Dave Lapham took time to do some reminiscing about his former teammate and crosstown rival Dick Jauron, who passed away on February 8th from cancer.

Jauron was great not only on the field but also in the classroom. In 1972, at Yale, he was selected as a National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete and set records that stood until the early 2000s. Jauron would enter the coaching profession after his playing days and, after serving as an assistant coach for the Bills, Packers, and Jaguars, would be named the head coach of the Chicago Bears.
