and his relationship with the rest of
the quarterbacks has been very
strong,” Clemens said. “He’s been
very humble about it, and that’s one
of the things I’m going to aspire to
in the next few years.”
But football, really, is only half of
Fife’s story.
Fife is a devout Mormon, a seri
ous family man and a nerd when it
comes to studying. He has a
prankster mentality, to be sure, but
when it comes to important things
he’s more Mormon than mullet.
“He’s very much into football
and being happy-go-lucky, but it’s
the little things that you don’t see
about him, about his religion and
his family, that are really impor
tant to him,” Mitchell said. “It’s a
great thing.”
His religion, Fife says, keeps
him “grounded” in his everyday
life. He attends church every Sun
day and generally lets his religion
guide him.
“There’s always the peer-pressure
thing, where the guys may want me
to come out and celebrate after a
game, but for the most part they un
derstand that I don’t want to go
drinkin,’ I don’t want to go smokin,’
I don’t want to do any of that stuff,”
Fife said.
“As a kid growing up in the Mor
mon church, you’re taught things
but you don’t really understand
them, you don’t grasp them. I
don’t know if I really understood
or grasped them as well as I
thought I did in high school. But
you find that, when you go to col
lege, when you’re on your own, the
things you’re taught, you grasp on
to those ideas.”
For now, Fife is still a college stu
dent struggling with football, reli
gion and everything else packed
into his life.
Maybe the next time someone
tries to write a feature on him,
they’ll have that one anecdote.
But for now, Fife is simply a short
story collection, with many differ
ent definitions and facets. He’s
simply crazy, simply serious, sim
ply devout.
In the end, he’s not so simple.
