As my tasks get greater and work and free time gets shorter it's possible that I missed this because I can't spend so much time here on the site anymore. Point being apologies if previously posed old news.
But I had not seen it and this is really good - (Kyle Prater) -
I started as the number #1 wide receiver in the nation coming out of high school, landing at USC. But transferring to Northwestern gave me that opportunity and the platform to launch my NFL career. Back in 2014, on National television against Notre Dame was PRESSURE for real. Coming back to campus after some time, thanks to my former teammate @dfields_972 was humbling. I saw the growth, the new facilities, and I shook every hand in the receiver room because respect matters. And players know players so I wanted them to feel that energy.
I had a great conversation with HC Coach Braun about coming back to speak and help build some @actiifoundation programming around the players. From USC, to Northwestern, to the league. Now in my second act, I’m focused on giving back.
The other day, we stopped over at the Gary Comer Youth Center on the South Side, connecting with a space that stands as a pillar of opportunity for the next generation of athletes. Act II is focused on empowering future leaders from the South and West Sides of Chicago, guiding current, future, and past athletes through life’s most crucial transition—life after sports.
We recognize the gravity of gun violence in our communities, but through our unique programming, we’re preparing athletes to not only overcome these challenges but also to become leaders who can influence real change.
PS from Euro - I don't know what they are feeding them but man oh man these guys look ripped and ready to rumble this year.
