He went to Stanford University and got the surgery. Shortly after, Coleman said he wanted to play football again.

“Right after surgery, I put two and two together,” Coleman said. “If I’m fixed, I can play football again, right?”

He talked to his surgeon and cardiologist, who both gave him their blessing. Then he talked to the coach at his high school, who welcomed him. Just a few months after surgery, Coleman was on the football field. He played the final two regular-season games and four playoff games. He returned an interception 26 yards for a touchdown in his first game.
