He played in Seattle from ’79 to ’83 and then went down to San Francisco from ’84 to ’86. In addition to getting over his fear of high-water pants Manu has had three sons that have played professional or near-professional sports — Jets quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo, Buccaneers fullback Zach Tuiasosopo, and Mariners minor leaguer Matt Tuiasosopo.
