But for DePodesta, a native of Alexandria, Va., and a product of Episcopal High, the move is a return to his roots. He had played football since the fifth grade, and he kept playing at Harvard – where he was smart enough to know, as he once recalled, “the sideline was my friend” — even after a shoulder injury forced him to quit baseball.

“As far as I’m concerned, he always was a football guy,” said Harvard football coach Tim Muprhy, for whom DePodesta was a senior back-up wide receiver in 1994. “It just took him 20-plus years to figure it out.”
