I love to see players that are either from or have played in this state do well, particularly football players. I don’t follow football past the college level much, but when I do it’s usually for a favorite player or local kid that I really enjoyed watching. After all, I have followed the Seahawks ever since Shaun went over to Seattle. :mrgreen:
I hadn’t heard of this guy making it until someone posted in the AL.com forums late yesterday:

Sweet!
I remember hearing his name a while back, but didn’t know he had moved on to the NFL. That’s awesome! Now I have another team to pull for. :mrgreen:
Way to go, Jerricho!
Incidentally, there are a couple of good articles about him in the NY Times and USA Today on him as well.

Good girl! :-)

Yeah, we love the ‘Hawks up here. Shaun especially. I had forgotten he wore the Crimson in college. It’s always good to read stories about pro players doing good things for people.
