Randall D. Burr, MD is a dermatologist in Meridian, Idaho. A graduate of Brigham Young University and the University of Utah School of Medicine, Burr lived in Utah when Steve Sarkisian played quarterback for BYU and has followed Sarkisian’s coaching career. Burr lost his brother to an accident involving a drunk driver nearly 30 years ago, and recently wrote an open letter to Sarkisian as he awaited the Washington football coach’s decision on team punishment for Huskies receivers Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Kasen Williams after alcohol-related offenses. Seferian-Jenkins pleaded guilty in July to drunken driving, after crashing his car when his blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit. Williams paid a misdemeanor citation for being underage and driving under the influence in a separate incident.
read with great interest the predicament that two of your players, Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Kasen Williams, created for you, their teammates, the University of Washington and their fan base. By choosing to drink and drive, these two athletes have placed their football program, as well as potential NFL careers, at risk and have disappointed their entire community. Worse than this, their negligence placed other people in harm’s way and could have produced lethal consequences.
