"Not many people go down the road that Randy Mueller did," said Chuck Knox, the former coach of the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and Buffalo Bills. "You really have to have a love of the game. And it was clear to me that he had that passion as soon as I met him."

Mueller had been part of the Seahawks organization since 1978, when he started as a ball boy, a job he landed partly because his application included a picture of him in his uniform from St. Maries (Idaho) High School. None of the 300 other applicants had provided a picture of themselves in football gear.
