I'm Carol Dawson. And I'm Wes Ferguson. You're listening to a special bonus episode of The Unforgotten.

This is pretty random, but we're going to start with a recent clip from this sports talk show called Pardon My Take.

Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very special guest. It is a future Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champ.

The camera cuts to Matthew Stafford, the star quarterback of the Los Angeles Rams. First of all, thank you for joining us. Of course. Thank you guys for having me on. These days, Matthew Stafford is one of the best passers in the NFL. When he was growing up in Highland Park, an old money enclave in Dallas, he played baseball with this other kid, a kid named Jake. Did you have the best arm on your team? No. Oh. No. Who did? That's crazy. Jake felt. Shout on Jake. Jake felt. Jake felt. I'll tell you what. He was eighth grade. You know, this guy was shaving in the eighth grade. It was an unbelievable stud.

We'd go to tournaments.

He was winning MVP, hitting bombs.

Hell yes.

Launching it.

Get that Matt Stafford and Jake Felt.

Yes, this is the same Jake felt from our previous chapter.

He's been married to Shelley and Jerry Mack Watkins' daughter, Ashley, for 10 years.

They're now in the process of a divorce.

What we didn't tell you because it didn't really seem relevant is that Jake and his famous teammate led their high school football team, the Highland Park Scots, to a 59-0

blowout victory in the 2005 state championship.

Fun fact about Jake felt, five touchdowns in the state championship game, Texas high school record.

Wow.

Jake felt legend.

Jake felt legend.

So this was pretty cool, but I have to admit, when I first read that Jake was from Highland Park,

I learned about his business and his friendship with an NFL quarterback.

I just assumed he was another rich

guy from a rich family, probably a trust funder. Carol found out that wasn't the case at all.
