Agree whole-heartedly with everyone here. Cancer doesn’t give a shit who you play for or what uniform you wear and therefore neither do I. Nothing but prayers for this young man.
He’s been on this planet a mere half as long as I have and is without question in better shape / health than I am. Never seems fair.
I will be watching the day he steps back on that field and cheering him on. This is very much a Leah Still, Kelly Stafford, Jim Kelly and (unfortunately) a Stefanie Spielman situation. The list goes on and on and it sucks.
Sorry for both your losses. I’m not going to deep-dive into my father’s passing; I will just leave it at if I ever run into cancer at a bar, “words exchanged” is not how it’s going to go.
Prayers for the kid. This is a beatable one and one he could still possibly play after treatment with. Hopefully he still get to fulfill his dream of playing pro football, and getting paid big bucks to do it.
