Redemption personified ... Guilt by association coming out of the infamous 'U' football program in the 90's, further bolstered by his being linked to a double murder in early 2000, led many, myself included, to question his character. His work on the field, and his charity off of it, have since made me a believer. His ability to inspire is a rare gift. I for one will sorely miss not only his uncanny football talent, but also his unmistakable work ethic, leadership and sheer power to inspire.
