Dan Devaney and Walter Bailey grew up in Oregon and went on to star as some of the best defensive forces in the Pac-10. Dan is a Duck and Walter is a Husky, but the conference rivalry is the only thing that separates them. Dan was Walter's football hero growing up. One afternoon the two met, picked up a football, and played a game of catch. That was in 1982. Fast forward to 2019, and the two have reunited. One saved the other's life. After years of battling with drugs and alcohol, both men are sober and counselors in the Portland area. In 2020, they'll launch their Hey Catch foundation to support fellow athletes.
