This story was on ESPN's 30 for 30 last night, the heart, the determination, the love of his sport is second to none.

When they had the draft pick for the kid in the NFL draft was pretty incredible. We tend to focus more on negatives in the nfl, and others, but in all honesty most of these professionals go out of there for kids and the community and alot of is overlooked

I agree the professional teams do have a lot of good about them, whereas the negative usually makes for better stories and overides the good.

I saw this live Still's could not hold back the emotion nor could his team mates.

I don't have a photo or clip, but I will say that being at the game where Reggie Garrett unfortunately passed away, I thought all the local fans, schools, etc. really showed the class that comes with being from SETX.

No doubt about that StangX shows that while we may ride each other on here we can pull together as one when one of our communities are hurting
