Chow’s sworn declaration is in support of lawsuit by former player John Lopez against UC Regents and the NCAA.
SANTA MONICA — A former UCLA football player who sued the UC Regents and the NCAA for injuries he says he suffered while playing for the Bruins was singled out for punishment by assistant coach Adrian Klemm, former Bruin offensive coordinator Norm Chow says in a sworn declaration.
“I have concluded with a reasonable degree of probability and reasonable certainty that Mr. Lopez was subject to conduct by Klemm that increased the risk of injury to him and that Coach Klemm’s actions were below the standard of care a coach owes a student-athlete,” Chow says. Klemm directed other players to “repeatedly and rapidly” hit Lopez, subjecting him to repeated helmet-to-helmet contact, sometimes with blocking bags and other times during drills run at full speed with full contact, according to Chow.
Klemm, an offensive tackle, was drafted by the New England Patriots in the second round of the 2000 NFL Draft, the same draft in which the team picked Tom Brady in the sixth round. Klemm, now 44, is currently an associate head coach for the University of Oregon.
