Kwon soon became a graduate assistant at the University of Akron after he didn't make the cut, but he knew that Koo had as good a chance as anyone.

When Koo won the Chargers' starting job, Kwon and Byon both knew their friend had an opportunity to become much more than just a kicker for Korean-Americans.

"It's not weird to me, though," Kwon said. "I knew he was going to be in this position."
