Daily reminder that Michael Lewis was also part of the (in)famous River City Relay. This man got everything an NFL player dreams of: Pro Bowl, 1st team All-Pro, an iconic play, records and a Super Bowl Ring. A career that no one will forget.

[@jakedrago7805]

I grew up a saints fan and I remember this this like it was yesterday. It was the pre season game of 01 Saints rookie RB Deuce McCallister just fumbled a punt and next time up we saw this little dude deep to receive the next punt and watched him nearly break it his first time out . I followed that pre season like never before and never since just to see if he would make it .

[@tekeguy68]

This video ABOUT his story had a better plot than most movies I've seen lately. How is this dude's movie not made yet? People always want to talk about stories with good/positive role models that they can identify with for "marginalized" communities and this guy's story is sitting on a shelf? We could all learn a thing or two from that man.

One more " Big things came in small packages" ( (I too am a small man and some people question if I am big enough to drive a semi ).
