FREMONT, Calif. — There’s little yelling on the sidelines, no hollering in the huddle, zero trash talk on the line of scrimmage.
But as the Eagles line up in formation and prepare for the kickoff, fingers are flying, hands are waving, signals are soaring.
Throughout the season, the team is communicating, fast and furiously, and also, mostly, silently. They are deaf, but for them, deafness isn’t a disadvantage. It’s a superpower.
